Amazing Kids! Named in ALA’s Top 25 Sites!

The American Library Association (ALA) oversees all of the libraries in the United States. Library resources are not only limited to books, but include websites as well. And so, every year the ALA makes a list of the top websites for young people ranging from birth to 14 years old. These websites are outstanding in both concept and content.

We are pleased to announce that out of the many, many websites on the web, Amazing Kids! has been chosen as one of the 2010 Great Websites for Kids. We are extremely honored that the ALA has taken such notice of Amazing Kids! We are especially grateful to all of our Amazing Kids! supporters for continually spreading the word about our cause.

Not only have we been listed as a top site for kids (pre-k through middle school grades), but we also got a cool badge to show for it!



Thank you again for all of your support!
