The Reference Shelf
 

The Monadnock Regional School District subscribes to a number of databases that students and staff can access from both school and home free of charge.
For a full listing, please take a look at our Database brochure.

  World Book Online
The full contents of the World Book Encyclopedia are available here, as well as additional articles, current events, timelines, an extensive atlas, and links to related web sites. Articles and pictures may be printed as well as emailed. Most articles are aligned to NH Standards and you can click on “View Standards” to see the alignment.  Three reading levels are available: Kids, Student, Advanced. Two additional modules are also available: World Book Discover offers a World Language translation option and the World Book is also available in Spanish.  In addition World Book Kids has a "read-aloud" component where you can hear the article read aloud.
