Presenting: An Amazing Online Resource!




Have you ever wondered how to navigate through the complex and multifaceted world of information that is provided by The Internet?

Are you looking for some wonderful websites for your children to use for educational and recreational purposes?

What is the controversy surrounding popular sites such as Google and Wikipedia?

What are some websites that you like to use?

The library will host a Parent Workshop on Friday, April 25th at 9:00 AM where we will discuss a comprehensive and engaging online resource called Great Websites For Kids: gws.ala.org. This tool is a treasure trove of authoritative and user-friendly websites which cover all of the academic disciplines for children up to the age of 14.  The sites have been evaluated and selected by The Great Websites For Kids Committee, which is part of The Association For Library Service To Children-experienced practitioners in the field of library science. New sites are added three times a year and are evaluated twice a year for currency and relevance.
 
During this session, parents will have the opportunity to work on the library's laptop computers to explore the sites on their own, and ask questions.
 
Please let me know what topics you would like to see covered in future library workshops.
 
I look forward to working with you!
