Feature #22: International Children’s Digital Library Foundation


The International Children’s Digital Library Foundation (ICDL) website - http://www.childrenslibrary.org was created to support the world’s children in becoming effective members of their local and global community while respecting the diverse cultures, languages, and ideas throughout our world.  ICDL strives to make the best children's literature available online, free of charge.  Another thing to note about this site is that it is a government-funded website so the content on the site has been reviewed and filtered. 

Even though the primary audiences for the ICDL are children from three to thirteen years old, parents, children caregivers, and educators, as well as academic professionals working in the field of children’s literature, are also targeted, since these people also impact the literacy of a child.  This website is great for students, parents, and educators, because it has a large collection of interactive books and they're all free.  It is valuable, especially considering its goals of helping a diverse audience accept all cultures.
