Announcing: New (and Improved) Electronic Resources

There are some exciting new electronic resources now available through the Library!

MyHeritage is an online genealogy resource that provides access to over 20 billion historical records. Users of
MyHeritage will have the online ability to review U.S. census records from 1790 to 1950. Other records include British census information and over 816 million public records from the United States. The database provides over 100 million photos of gravestones as well.

FinancialFit is an electronic resource that provides information and lessons related to personal finance. This electronic database contains over 160 short lessons on personal finance. There are also interactive lessons, videos, and finance based games for those using the database. Access is also given to worksheets and checklists. Topics include 'Managing Debt,' 'Getting a Car,' and many more.

The Cumming Library is now an affiliate library for FamilySearch. The FamilySearch database provides access to over six billion viewable images of genealogical records, and a collection of over thirteen billion searchable names. The Cumming Library's status as a FamilySearch affiliate allows patrons to access content on the patron computers at the Cumming Library that would be blocked if they were using FamilySearch at home.

Lastly, although not new to FCPL, LearningExpress Library is getting an upgrade. This online resource provides training courses and helps users explore careers and prepare for college exams. The expansion of this resource provides more depth and opportunity for users to increase their skills and knowledge.

Visit the Library's eLibrary tab to explore all our eResources by category, target age group, or alphabetical order.
