IPL: Internet Public Library
The goal of IPL is to provide library service on the internet! There are some
very useful resources on this site including ready reference materials
(almanacs and dictionaries), reference pathfinders, books and magazines. I
suggest following the link from Kidspace to Reading Zone where you will not
only find information on your favorite authors, but also online stories.

Bookpals Storyline Online
This site offeres beloved children's books read by well known stars. My
personal favorites are A Bad Case of Stripes read by Sean Astin, Brave Irene
read by Al Gore, and Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge read by Bradley
Whitford. Take a look! It's not only fun, but also a site that can be enjoyed
by the whole family.

Jan Brett's Homepage
There are lots of wonderful author pages out there, but Jan Brett's is one of
the best! Right now she is showing how to draw deomonstrations. The "How to
draw" books are always checked out at the Traver Library, so I thought
highlighting this site would give those children who miss the physical book a
chance to get some drawing lessons. I also promised my second graders I would
put this site up for them. Have fun!
