The most amazing library web site that I have ever seen for young kids is the Toronto Public Library's KidsSpace.The site is loaded with literacy based games, activities and recommended reading lists. Kids can even create their own picture-based stories to share with others.
Today when I visited I was impressed with the pumpkins and other mentions of Halloween. The site was launched almost two years ago, and the staff at Toronto is obviously dedicated to making it a success by keeping the content current. Kudos!

Thanks! We work hard at keeping it current, which is made easier by the fact that we designed it to be easily updated.
You all rock! What kids' sites did you use as your inspiration?
The create a story feature is so very cool!
That's hard to say. We looked at so many and created a wish list of everything we liked about many of them. And what we disliked too.
The tell a story is something we licence from the company that made the site with us. The artwork is ours - the software is theirs!
