Hello North Carolina! I am so excited that NC Live LIbrary contacted me about this new program they have. We love education here.
At NC Live, you can access all of the online library resources (magazines, newspapers, videos, journals, ebooks, etc.) that libraries across the state have pooled their money to provide online to North Carolinians.
NC Live is useful to lots of moms out there who don't have time to get to the library but would like to have PBS videos online for their kids, or for moms who want a place to find trusted health and wellness information. They even have full-text online subscriptions to magazines like Consumer Reports.
Homework just got simpler!
How awesome is that?! Can I tell you how helpful this could have been when the Twins were little! Hey, it is hugely helpful now. For homeschoolers, it is awesome to have this resource right in our own home school.
"NC LIVE is a statewide collaborative among the nearly 200 public and academic libraries in North Carolina. Consisting of four Communities of Interest (COIs), the organization ranks include the libraries of the University of North Carolina System, North Carolina Community College System, the public libraries of North Carolina, serving all 100 counties, and the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities.
NC LIVE provides the people of North Carolina with online access to a large and diverse collection of resources aimed at serving educational, economic, and informational needs of everyday life." [read more here...]
Thank you NC Live for your wonderful program and updates! Do you access online live libraries such as this? Would you, could you, should you?!! :)
Warmly,
They have some really great resources, and I have used them before. For some reason I haven't been able to access it for a bit now, so this is a good reminder for me to check with my local library to get it figured out.
ReplyDeleteWe've definitely found the audiobooks helpful!
They just revamped the site over January. Check it out now and see. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHey everyone - also check out our new website! http://new.nclive.org - It's still in beta mode, but it gives a better representation of all the different things that we have in our online library! Thanks for posting this story!

ReplyDeleteWow - I didn't know about this!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest is almost 5 and I feel fairly certain we are going to homeschool. What a great resource this will be.
We love the library - and it just got even better!
Thanks!
