Did you know...
Online Databases are available at the Library
The Library has tools to help you create a Living Will, learn how to say "Where is the library?" in French, and find out what the title of book #26 in the Stone Barrington series is - all in one stop!
Use the Library's online databases to meet many needs - Legal Forms Library, Mango Languages and NoveList are just three of these tools. Most of them are subscription resources that the Library provides for Waterford residents. Most can be used both remotely (from home, work or school) and at the Library. Access to these databases is just a click away.

And of course, if you would like to borrow TV shows which we do not own, you can always try to do an interlibrary loan (or we can do it for you) to get it in from another library in our system.
