Keeping Up With Kids

More great websites for kidsALSC has added 16 more recommended websites to Great Web Sites for Kids, its online resource containing hundreds of links to exceptional websites for children. The site features links to websites of interest to children 14 years of age and younger, organized into diverse subject headings.

Wow, some super ideas here (including a fantastic idea for a summer library program promotion). Take a peek at this newish blog: http://btbstorytimes.blogspot.com/.
