TUTORIALS
The EWG Jr/Sr Library is a member of the RILINK (RI Library Information Network for Kids) consortium. As RILINK members, we are able to participate in Inter-library loan with nearly 150 other schools throughout RI. This means that EWG students have access to over one million items, and are able to request books and other items. These items are then delivered to the EWG Library free of charge! This process is currently being updated. Please see Ms. Winner with questions about how to request items through inter-library loan.
