Starting your Senior Geography Project?

The Local Studies collection at Hornsby Central Library is a great place for expert help and resources. Remember that research involves you finding the answers and that it is highly unlikely that there will be just one book or website that covers your entire topic.

Local Studies Librarians are available to assist you during business hours.

Check out YHQ's Senior Geography page for further information.
