International Children's Digital Library

I stumbled across this site while doing some research and had to add it as a valuable library source. Books are offered in 16 different languages. Visit the site at: http://en.childrenslibrary.org/

"The ICDL Foundation's goal is to build a collection of books that represents outstanding historical and contemporary books from throughout the world. Ultimately, the Foundation aspires to have every culture and language represented so that every child can know and appreciate the riches of children's literature from the world community."

The International Association of School Librarianship (IASL) is inviting students to take part in the GiggleIT Project.

The site is intended to aid librarians to be able to share resources as outlined in their mission statement:
