This is a list of the databases available to children from the Concord
Library.
To get to a database, click on the right link at the end of each description.
When linking to a database from outside of the library, you will need
your Minuteman Library card number. (Most of the time, you have to enter
it without any spaces between the numbers.) A lot of times, you will
click on a link but have to search again for your database. Please don't
get frustrated — it's the only way we could get you there.
If you have a problem logging in, please contact a Reference Librarian
at 978-318-3347 or at conref@minlib.net during library hours.
