Spotlight on West End Library's “Website of the Week”

West End Branch has a Facebook page and every week we spotlight a “website of the week.” These are sites that I’ve found that are interesting, informational, or just fun. Here’s a list of websites spotlighted in the past and some interesting new ones.

Alabama DMV Driving Tests
Practice tests and FAQ for the Alabama Driving Test.

Alabama Public Radio
I love listening to a Prairie Home Companion and Fresh Air. This is also a great source for local and national news.

Alabama Public Television
Season 5 of Downton Abbey isn’t finished, yet. Catch up on this seasons episodes.

This website will help you find out if you are registered to vote, where you vote and the dates for upcoming elections.

Brenda’s Brown Bosom Buddies
Website for a breast cancer support organization for women of color.

This worked well for me and my needs. If you have a document in .pdf format it will convert the text so you can edit it.

This website offers free “learn at your own pace” tutorials and classes. A variety of topics are covered: basic computer, money and grammar.

This is the time of year where access to this website is needed. You really might need it since income tax forms are in short supply this year.
