The Library subscribes to many services, including newspaper, magazine, and encyclopedia article databases, which are not available for free on the Internet. If you have a valid Fresno County Library card, you may use almost all of the following databases from home--click on the "outside the Library" link and enter your card number (10-digits, no spaces). Anyone may use the databases from within Fresno County Library Branches--click on "In Library."
Some disruption of service may occur on Sunday mornings because of regular maintenance.
Alternative access
for patrons outside library branches. Use this link if you're outside
the library and will be using more than one database during your session.
