What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this safe educational resource is bigger and better than many other similar sites. You don't need to worry about the content of the organized, thorough homework section or the links to activities and educational games (geography quizzes and art projects, for example). Two caveats: A few areas of the site only work if you've got a NYC library card, and not all links are up to date.

Educational value: Many links to librarian-approved educational sites. There's an entire section dedicated to homework help.
Positive messages: Kids can submit their own media reviews (books, movies, and more) and read others'.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: Not applicable.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.
