Alabama Virtual Library

The Alabama Virtual Library is a resource that is free to residents of the state of Alabama and made possible by the legislature of Alabama. Any resident of the state of Alabama may receive a card from their local public library. The card is good for three years and may be renewed at the same library or if the user has moved, at their new local library for another three years. An Alabama Virtual Library Card allows users to access numerous newspaper articles, journals, databases, and magazines from a computer.
Since this service is available to all residents and is free to all, it ensures that people may educate themselves on almost any topic that they chose. All they have to do is visit their local library. This is a great service that the state of Alabama provides for its citizens.
I attended public school in the state of Alabama and I had an Alabama Virtual Library Card. My classmates and I constantly were using the Alabama Virtual Library for research papers, science fair projects, etc. We were able to have access to materials that I know our school system could never afford. The website was very user friendly and provided my classmates and I with wonderful resources. I am sure that by now my card has expired but I just may go get it renewed the next time I have a chance.
