Challenge 14, our library site

Remember when Fonzie said "Haaaaaaaay" when he thought something was cool. That's what the library site rates. I did see a whole lot of stuff that I hadn't looked at before...starting with the kids, there's the Merriam Webster's Word Central where they can learn a new vocabulary word every day and how to use it and there's a dictionary that they can contribute to. I would think that homeschool parents would love that. There is oodles of resources on the site for them. How to build a worm farm and how to grow a garden! They have a "Those were the days" link where everything that ever happened on today's date is listed. There is another one of those on the adult side but there is a lot of more adult stuff on that page to go along with it. There are fast links to your representatives and congress phone numbers and emails. I can also invite the vice president and/or his wife and the president and/or his wife to an event using an email address found on a link from our home page. After January I will invite Barack and Michelle over for some smoked bar-b-que. The Kentucky links are useful and I especially liked the census information. Lots of cool stuff right at our fingertips.
