Kids Britannica homepage
The Britannica for Kids portal has the same great information access, but with articles chosen especially for younger readers. There are also “how to” guides here that help young learners improve academic skills. All content (articles, images, videos, etc.) includes a bibliography-ready citation in MLA, APA, Chicago Manual of Style and Harvard citation styles.
There is an integrated “workspace” where kids can bookmark content they want to save for later. Workspaces can also be shared with other library cardholders, for work on group projects.
If you have questions or need help using this resource, stop by the Ask Us desk at the library or call, text or email!
