Fontbonne Launches Library Services: An Expansion of Education

Anaiah Fowlkes ’28

Fontbonne Hall has officially launched its new digital library services, giving both teachers and students access to over 40,000 ebooks, newspapers, magazines, videos, and academic articles.

The library itself is accessible through its Google Classroom page, making it available to students both on campus and at home; its adaptability supports many different types of students. Whether they prefer listening or reading (as a hobby or for a class), knowledge is available wherever they may need it. In addition, the library promotes improved literacy, a skill needed both inside and outside the classroom.

The collection includes EBSCO (Elton B. Stephens Company), Google Scholar, Library of Congress, PubMed (National Library of Medicine), JSTOR (Journal Storage), and the New York City School Library System. On top of providing flexible access to information, encouraging independent learning, and promoting digital skills, Fontbonne is looking forward to the changes this library can make in our community.
