Writers who were born in New Hampshire, are current residents of New Hampshire, or who have spent a significant portion of their writing careers in New Hampshire, and who have at least one published book catalogued in a New Hampshire library have been included.
  4. Bibliography Composer - WorksCited4U.com– automatically formats and alphabetizes bibliographic sources according MLA style standards.
  5. Bookreporter.com– provides book reviews, interviews and excerpts on all the latest books as well as special features, polls, and contest about books, authors and reading.

  7. NH Newspapers Online– NH newspaper websites, listed by county.
  8. NH Public Notices– searchable database of all public notices that run in the Union Leader, NH Sunday News and Nashua Telegraph.
