We've just got access to some new online resources at the library available at our Online Resources page.
TumbleBook Library
TumbleBooks are narrated & animated online books. There are also puzzles and games. This is a great resource for kids.
Storybooks - for preschoolers and kids who have just started school.
Tumblereadables - large print 'Read-On-Your-Own' story, chapter and Young Adult books.
Life Learning - books which teach kids about important social and health issues.
Language learning - books in French, Spanish, Russian, Chinese.
Visual Thesaurus
Visual Thesaurus is a thesaurus that displays the results using a visual map. It does require a Java plugin (download Java from Sun). The following is an image of the results for a search for pen.
WebsterWorld
WebsterWorld is a general student encyclopedia with articles for Arts, History and Australia among others.
So if you haven't had a look at the Online Resources, check them out. They are available 24/7 from home and all you need is your library card.
Cheers, Maryanne
