Summit County Library is pleased to announce that it has added 5 new databases for all of you travel lovers and foodies! Anyone can access these 5 free databases using the library’s computers, or from anywhere in the world from the library’s website at www.summitcountylibraries.org with their Summit County library card. Visit Research and choose A-Z for Alphabetical sorting or Subject and find them under Food, Travel & Language Learning.

Includes 121 topics for 175 countries. Starting with a country snapshot and cultural overview, topics include: climate; food and recipes; history; language; maps; money and much more. AtoZ World Culture was designed for researchers, educators, travelers, global businesses, government agencies and anyone who wants to learn about the world and its diverse cultures. It includes teaching tools and lesson plans for educators.
