Why we created NioKids

1. Kids of all ages should be able to locate
excellent quality websites that are age and
content appropriate.

2. Kids should always have new websites to look
at and to explore - that's why we add new links all
the time and a new page full of fun and educational links each month.

3. Tots, toddlers, and their parents should be able
to find educational and recreational websites
designed especially for very young children.

4. Older kids should be able to locate resources
to help them with their homework and sites that
are just plain fun.

5. Parents, librarians, and teachers should be able
to easily locate materials that will help them teach
kids and learn more as adults.

6. Nioga member libraries should be able provide their young patrons with a website that's
built especially for them.

7. It's important to have a website that's built
for kids that contains links to Western New York communities and attractions.

How we maintain NioKids

NEW - Starting in 2010 we've added a new section "Monthly Ideas" to the Grownups section. It includes lesson plan, class/library activities/printables..

Every month we add a new month page to NioKids, so there's always something new for tots, kids, and teens to explore.

Four times a year we update the 'Seasons' page in NioTots.
