A good book is the best of friends,
                 the same today and forever.

I can't imagine a better job than mine--working with kids, books, and computers! Now, if I could just work eating chocolate into my job description in some way,  I would be on top of the world!

Here are a few of my favorite web sites that have to do with the different aspects of being a library media specialist.

www.ipl.org/youth/
Internet Public Library, Youth Division

www.acs.ucalgary.ca/~dkbrown/stories.html
Online Children's Stories

www.cfsd.k12.az.us/Library/Hotspots2.html
A wealth of information resources

www.pbs.org/wgbh/lions/
Between the Lions is an early literacy site for kids ages 4--7. 
There are lots of stories, games, and printable activity sheets.

www.howstuffworks.com
A great reference site, or just a place to satisfy your curiosity!

When you reread a classic you do not see more in the book than you did before; you see more in you than there was before.
