Is your child looking for information about a particular kind of animal for a school project? The Library offers the EBSCO Animals online database, which provides thousands of easy-to-read entries about mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. Each entry begins with a simple category breakdown of the animal including Kingdom, Class, Order, Genus & Species, and Geographical Locale as well as a detailed description. Many entries include colorful images. This website would be useful to children and teenagers who are looking for information about animals for projects or pictures for collages. Photographs of animals are either on color or black and white. You can access this database by going to the Library's Online Databases, and clicking on EBSCO Animals.
