DIGITAL CONTENT

The state of Texas and the Venus ISD understand the need for digital content at school and at home.   The state has provided two outstanding digital suites-Texquest for schools  and Texshare for public libraries.  Since the Venus HS/Community Library serves the community as well as the high school, it has access to both Texquest and Texshare.  For some of the best tools for research, try Gale Resources. The district also provides Encyclopedia Britannica in both English and Spanish and World Book  Encyclopedia. Need to learn a new language?  Try out Pronunciator.  Want to know more about Texas? Scroll down to The Portal of Texas History.
​
​ Log-in information is made available to all students and patrons of the community library.
