24 Hour Resources
Did You Know?...
When you search our
“24 Hour Resources”,
you are searching
through a collection of
databases, or structured
information, subscribed
to by the library. In
these databases, experts
have collected the most
relevant, accurate and
current information and
organized it by subjects
which we have divided up
for you. For example,
information about famous
people can be found in
our
"Biography Resource
Center", or
information relating to
science can be found in
our "Science
Resource Center".
Searching through these
databases, or resources,
is very different from
searching the Internet
using Google, Bing or
any other search engine.
The information found in
our databases is high
quality, reliable and
verifiable and you don’t
have to scroll through
pages of links to find
accurate and current
information. Take a look
at some of our resources
listed below or click on
“24 Hour Resources” to find our entire
collection of resources
waiting to serve you.
The Palos Park Public
Library’s online ‘24
Hour Resources” provide
a world of information
from homework and

enrichment with hobbies,
