Unlock Academic Success: Online Homework Resources for Kids and Teens

Through a program called NOVELny, the library subscribes to a number of resources to support kids and teens in their educational ventures. All of the resources can be accessed at home using your library card. Some can even be used by just providing device location information! Most of these resources also have citation tools to make creating a bibliography/works cited page a breeze.

In addition, the library provides access to local, regional, and national newspapers and magazines through Newsbank’s America’s News. To access America’s News, you must have a resident Colonie library card.
