, Cranford NJ Public Library Offers Online Resources For Children And Young Adults

Cranford Public Library.  

All right – we’ve all been there.  Your child remembers Sunday evening that he or she has a project due on Monday morning, and it requires library research.  So, of course, first you lose your mind, and you scream at the aforementioned child, and then you take a deep breath and remember the fabulous array of online resources from the Cranford Public Library.

Many Cranford residents may not even realize the resources available to them from their home computer.  In addition to the wide array of resources IN the library, these can be accessed by children and young adults at any time.  And, in a pinch, it just may save their skins!

The following list is taken directly from the Cranford Public Library’s Online Resources tab.  Some of them require the input of your library card number, so have your library card handy.  Others give specific directions, usernames, and passwords, so be sure to read carefully.
