World Book Online

Kids are probably starting to really get into the swing of things at school, so because of all that new homework I'd like to introduce a new online information resource we're now offering at the library: World Book Online for Public Libraries. There are actually four different sites that make up this resource: World Book Online for Kids (for lower grades), World Book Online Info Finder (for middle grades), and World Book Online Reference Center (for upper grades). There is also a Spanish language version available.

In addition to encyclopedia articles, the sites include educational games for kids, printable and customizable timelines, state report information, research guides that include trusted Web sites, videos, pictures, sound clips, and (attention homeschooling parents!) teacher resources such as lesson plans.

To log on to World Book, go to our website (click here) and click Online Resources. Then click on World Book and use your Allerton Library card number to log in.
