Monday, February 16 is Presidents' Day, a federal holiday that honors all of our presidents. SCCLD libraries will be closed in observance. Our 24/7 Online Library is available.
The United States has had 45 presidents in its nearly 250-year history (two were elected to non-consecutive terms). The office of president has grown in importance over time, directing the federal workforce and military, managing foreign affairs, and serving as the leader of their political party.
Learn more about our nation's presidents in our Online Library's History section. There you will find resources including U.S. History and Biography from Gale in Context, The Great Courses through Hoopla, and several eBook reference collections.
Our Government, Law & Politics page features some of our collection's latest eBooks, Audiobooks and eMagazines about major political figures including our current and former presidents, as well as other major political figures from inside and outside of government.
We have titles perfect for young readers, plus a wide selection of nonfiction and fiction books for adults on presidential topics.
