Alabama Virtual Library (AVL)

Alabama Virtual Library (AVL) is a resource tool for researching just about any topic. This website is very handy to K-12 students, college students, teachers and actually anyone who is a resident of Alabama. To access this website, you need to register at any of the local libraries for a library card. You must bring proof of residence in Alabama and picture identification. If you are a student you can register at your school if they have that option. AVL contains magazines, newspapers, and journal articles from the internet database. If anyone should have problems locating a specific item or technical help, they even provide a technical support team for your convenience.

I will take a field trip to the library when I become a teacher to ensure all of my students register for a library card to receive this free benefit if my school does not provide the students this service. It will definitely save everybody some gas money. You can surf Alabama Virtual Library instead of driving to the library to do research. This will be a great idea to help my students with their studies.
