At the Library

Use the library catalogue to find information about a specific country.

• If you are looking specifically for education, culture, or government, type both the country name and the piece of information you are looking for. For example, if you are looking for information on the culture of France type “France culture” into the search box to see what the library has.

If you don’t get any results, try using just the country name. Many books about a country contain information on culture, government, and more!
