I loved the part about how the web has become an extension of the reading experience through blogs, etc. for teen readers!<BR/>:)<BR/>eElizabeth O Dulembahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255495706124193452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852000.post-66421540299478874742009-03-12T20:34:00.000-04:002009-03-12T20:34:00.000-04:00You really captured a wide range of library servic...You really captured a wide range of library services that people don't think about - but will now. Our system subscribes to a large number of journal databases, and I love telling patrons that they have free access to them with just a library card. Go libraries!MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852000.post-72507532258483829262009-03-12T15:11:00.000-04:002009-03-12T15:11:00.000-04:00This post is a wonderful!

It truly is a great way to engage reluctant readers and provide new reading experiences for all readers. <BR/><BR/>I also invite you and your readers to check out the online resources available at www.RIF.org. There's an entire section called "Leading to Reading" for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers featuring interactive books, reading games, finger play videos and more. Kids and parents love the site and can't believe it’s free and also available in Spanish! There’s also RIF’s Reading Planet site with fun for kids ages 6-15.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for this fantastic post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15683885950692422497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852000.post-60763485629833387332009-03-12T13:52:00.000-04:002009-03-12T13:52:00.000-04:00Thanks for showing how the library can exist beyon...Thanks for showing how the library can exist beyond its "brick-and mortar" self, offering creative uses for all ages.Candace Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025197609231243397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852000.post-88571916178225637532009-03-12T09:56:00.000-04:002009-03-12T09:56:00.000-04:00Thank you for these pointers.

We've been very wary about letting our boys loose but the time is rapidly approaching when they will want to set up their own areas on-line, so it's interesting to hear what the Girl Scouts organisation is doing... now I'll have to look and see if there's anything similar for boys!Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12143499864104883745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852000.post-65675592695444524722009-03-12T09:29:00.000-04:002009-03-12T09:29:00.000-04:00Wow!
