International Children’s Digital Library

Jayne brought this link to my attention. The International Children’s Digital Library is an online library that collects, scans and makes digitally available, children’s books from around the world.

The ICDL Foundation’s goal is to build a collection of books that represents outstanding historical and contemporary books from throughout the world.

There are stories in Mongolian, Farsi, German, Portuguese and so forth. What a wonderful way to use technology to preserve customs and bring people closer together.

JaneJane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas' Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase Her Scandalous Ways. She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation! Email this author | All posts by Jane
