Kids’ World is a special section on the library’s website that includes homework help in a variety of forms. Resources organized by different subjects and multi-subject sources can be accessed from this page. It can be reached by going to the library’s homepage at http://www.camdencountylibrary.org/ and clicking on the Kids link on the left sidebar.

The homework page also offers a link to “Ask a Librarian” service by email, telephone or on-site at one of the system’s seven branches.

Searchasaurus is one of the resources available on Kids’ World that helps both children and their parents by enabling them to search thousands of articles. It has an online general encyclopedia and an animal encyclopedia that offers a ton of information about animals from around the world.

According to EBSCOhost, the online publisher of Searchasaurus, it is an animated interface with a dinosaur theme that encourages young researchers to enhance and develop basic search methods. Children enjoy using the resource because of its colorful, animated searching features.

Kids’ World also offers Primary Search, a database geared to finding age-appropriate magazine articles for children. Find other great information sources for elementary students at http://www.camdencountylibrary.org/kids.
