Cybrarian

http://www.cybrary.org/

The main purpose of this site is to supply child-friendly sites for kids in grades three through eight on a variety of curriculum oriented subjects. Having been a Media Specialist [which is a fancy name for school Librarian] for many years, I have seen kids looking for the simplest items on the Internet and taking hours to accomplish what one book + ten minutes might have done. There is certainly a need for reference books but it is not always practical. Most people don't own one of those thousand dollar sets of printed encyclopedias or a copy of the latest almanac. The Internet lets us use up to date information. Hopefully, this site will make school information easier to find so that you can get to the stuff that's really important--like Gameboy.
