New Library Databases - for Kids

Posted on 07:32 by Unknown
These new online tools will be of great assistance to kids when they are working on their homework projects - or just to help answer all the questions their inquisitive minds come up with. 


To access you just need your SPL library card number! (all 14 digits and no spaces).  These websites are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - wherever you have Internet access - so home, school, library or on the go.



Searchasaurus
Searches newspapers, magazines, books and even the Funk & Wagnalls New World Encyclopedia - all the the help of a dinosaur. 

Kids Search
Research has never been so easy with this website! Search to find magazine articles, biographies, images and more - all geared for grades K-8.

World Book Science Power
Lots to learn on this site! Learn about living things, ecosystems, the earth, weather, matter, energy and much more. There are even various science experiments you can try. 

World Book Social Studies Power
Use this site to tour the world's continents, and study the people, culture, history of various parts of the world. There are maps, pictures, and quizzes to keep you entertained. Geared for students in grades 2-6.
