Be a Library Success Story : use search
engines and online resources designed especially for kids!
There are many great search engines for the elementary-aged crowd that screen
inappropriate websites. Plus, they limit the number of websites that are
available. For example, if you searched for "whales" on Google.com, you
would get 18,500,000 hits! Yikes! Cut out the clutter by taking advantage of
the resources listed below.
Ask for Kids
Ask for Kids is a search engine, information resource
guide, homework-helper, and more. You have to try it to see all
it can do for you!
