World Book Kids and World Book Student

The library, through its homepage, provides access to an online, multimedia encyclopaedia known as World Book. Fact-checked and written by experts, this is a great resource for students doing research or just for general interest. Students are encouraged to use this resource as a first step in their research, rather than just “googling”.

World Book comes in two different levels to support different age groups and reading levels. World Book Kids contains shorter, easy-to-read articles, while World Book Student has more in-depth information. Both levels offer a narrator function, which will read the article aloud, as well as containing maps, videos and games. World Book Kids also offers lots of activities and science projects.

Access is automatic at school but if accessing from home, you will need to log in with user name: pacluth1 and password: library.
