These databases have the full text of magazine articles, reference books and other material. They’re great for school reports and general research …
and they’re always available inside of our library.
Just click on the links below to search any of these databases. They are free for all residents of Kansas! The Kansas State Library has many more free databases you can access from home. You may also use them when you are out of state, but you’ll need to login with a Kansas Library Card. Kansas Library Cards are available free at the Library, just come in and ask for one.
Databases Available inside the Finney County Public Library:
A catalog of the books in over 300 Kansas libraries. If you find a title you want here, we can get it for you free through our interlibrary loan service. Just ask for further information at the front desk.
A catalog of over 61 million books available from libraries all over the country … and the world. If you can’t find something you want here, it probably doesn’t exist. We can get most of these books for you for free through something we librarians call interlibrary loan. Ask at the front desk for more information.
