Not Billboards, Bill-exciteds!

It's sad that this sort of pun passed muster, but there you go. You may have seen the library billboards around Rochester these past few weeks, trying to get out the word that we have resources here that you may not be familiar with.

You can take practice tests for the ACT, SAT and other tests with our Learn A Test resource, find car repair specs and diagrams at the Auto Repair Reference Center, do genealogy research on Ancestry Plus Genealogy Search*, research full-text articles from newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals and more through EBSCO, not to mention the biographies available from the Biography Resource Center (okay, they were just mentioned) and Spanish language resources such as Informe, Netlibrary online books, and many, many more. Click here to go directly to the list of electronic resources.
Almost all of these resources are available online 24/7 if you have a Rochester Public Library card in good standing. Go ahead and make the books jealous, just this once, and connect yourself to some of our somewhat underheralded electronic resources.

*Please note that Ancestry is only available for use while you're the library, but you're going to have some questions for Greg or Susan anyway, so it's worth the trip in.
