There are times when being a kid is the best! Folks explain things better to kids. They make it easier to understand. Yet, on the internet, one has to be so careful.
GALILEO has a link to KidsClick! Web Search for Kids by Librarians -Links to great sites for kids on all topics (current events, science & math, fine arts, sports & recreation and more). Searches can be limited by reading level (up to grade 2, grades 3 - 6, grades 7 and up). A privacy policy is posted on the site.
It's a safe place to find information for both children and adults- the sites aren't "kiddie sites". They are places with real information!

Planning a party!
Oh boy! It's party time- all over the world folks are celebrating beginnings and endings. Some are building bonfires for the Winter Soltice, some are burning candles for Advent or Hannukah or Kwanzaa. Some are thinking ahead to New Years Eve! A time for sparkling something or other to imbibe (responsibly).
Where does one go to learn about the best wine for a celebration? Many turn to the venerable magazine Wine Spectator. You don't want to purchase the magazine at your local store (or maybe they don't have it on the shelf). What's a party planner to do?
GALILEO....Believe it or not Wine Spectator is in EbscoHost- not in Academic Search Premier on the front page but in Business Source Premier (#28 on NMTC list)! Wine making is a big business.

A date which will live in infamy
American familes were touched by the attack on Pearl Harbor. My mother very clearly remembers that Sunday afternoon, Dec 7 1941, her Dad was painting the dining room ceiling. When the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor came across the radio, he stopped painting and went immediately to the office. He worked for Western Electric. The line across the ceiling remained there through out the war. What story does your family have about Dec 7 ,1941?
Read more about Pearl Harbor in the Encyclopedia. We have moved a print set of Comptons Encyclopedia to the circulating collection. You may borrow a volume of the encyclopedia and take it home to read!

Trees, stars, and candles, Oh my!
The shortest days of the year bring on a plethora of holiday rituals with Christmas, Hannakuh, Kwanzaa and the Winter Soltice being the better known.
