South Hadley Public Library Suggested Websites
About this listing
These sites were selected based on frequently requested topics.
This site is just the beginning, and often a search in Google will
be a wonderful way to dive into a subject. Just be careful: not
all the information found on the Internet is reputable. Unlike a
book, which goes through the scrutiny of the publishing process,
anyone can publish a website. See our Evaluating
Websites links to find out how to determine whether information
you find on the Internet is reputable. If you would like to suggest
a site or need help conducting an Internet search, please contact
us.
