These resource databases are offered through the Region III Center and funded through the Van Vleck ISD libraries.
The ESBCO Database is formatted a little differently than the typical search engine. ESBCO is funded by the state and comes to us through Region 20. This site has more than just student info; it has teacher resources, magazines, encyclopedias, newspapers, and health information. It is designed for the Pre-K elementary student all the way to the college student. There is something for everyone.
