Databases

Over 70% of the Internet contains false information.

When doing research it is important to use credible resources. Because of this the Garden City Library has partnered with Idaho Commission for Libraries in purchasing a wealth of research databases called LiLI Libraries Linking Idaho.  These research tools will allow you to do your research with confidence.
