Deschutes Public Library

High Desert Middle School: Mrs. Cummings’s Project on European Travel

Library Online Resources

In the “Online Resources” section of the Deschutes Public Library website (www.deschuteslibrary.org/onlineresources), check out the databases in the Homework category! Use your library card to log in, or use them at a public library.

A great resource for this project is CultureGrams! CultureGrams is an online database that collects information on countries—travel information, local culture, history, and more! You can access CultureGrams at school or home using your Deschutes Public Library Card (which includes Library Linx).

You can also access the World Book Encyclopedia through DPL’s website, just log in using your library card number.
