To K12 School Libraries:

In response to a request from iCONN to commemorate School Library Month, Gale has agreed to offer gratis database access to one of its resources to K12 School Libraries in Connecticut. Given that April is also Poetry Month, the resource that Gale is pleased to offer is LitFinder, for full-text to poems, short stories, plays, and speeches.

The link to the trial site is:
