A SLEDing Summer

Question: Can SLED help me find stuff to keep my children entertained and maybe educated during summer vacation?

Answer: The librarian-selected resources on SLED cover a wide range of subjects. While we can't guarantee results for any specific child or adult, we think SLED has something for nearly everybody:

• Use SLED's Daily Living section to pull up the Internet Movie Database and figure out what movies to watch or rent.
• Use the Digital Pipeline on SLED to read magazines like:
• Field & Stream
• Macworld
• People
• Sky & Telescope
• Do a search on "paper airplanes" in the the SLED search box and find Amazing Paper Airplanes from the Internet Public Library Kidspace.
