International Children's Digital Library by Evan Orensten
The International Children's Digital Library is working on a goal to provide people around the world access to a digital library of children's books that will surpass 10,000 volumes by 2008. By constructing varying interface levels for children 3 to 13, ICDL has created a reading experience that evolves with each child's individual growth and will preserve the best of children's literature for future generations.
In order to help them meet their worthwhile yet ambitious goal, interested authors, illustrators, translators, publishers, agents, libraries, and philanthropies should visit Children's Library or contact them at partnerships [at] childrenslibrary [dot] org.
