Our First Contest

See how many words you can make from the letters in the word

R E A D I NG

Can you find 25? 50? More? Go for it!!!

Here are the rules:

1. Only common English words, please! No slang, no proper nouns.

2. More than one form of a word is okay.

3. E-mail us your list or bring it in person to the library.

4. You can enter by yourself or with your grade or family.

5. You do not need to be a real kid to enter.

We'll post real kids' entries in the library, and we'll announce the results on this page. Please take a few minutes and enter our contest. At the same time, you can tell us what you'd like to see on this page and give us your ideas for the next contest. Just like you, we love to get mail.

An Interesting Site

We think you'll like the Yuckiest Site on the Internet. . You'll find lots of science and have fun too. Check out their yucky information, including burps, spit, and all those things your parents told you never to do or talk about in public. There's also lots of stuff on worms and bugs. It may seem yucky, but it's scientific too.

Some More Serious Help

If you're having trouble with math, check out Ask Dr. Math , for help for K-12 math homework. You'll find a series of questions with answers, and you can send Dr. Math your questions by e-mail. Need homework help? Homework Help brought to you by the Minneapolis Star Tribune should get you going. It's the night before your paper is due and the library is closed. Help! Maybe Encarta Online , Microsoft's on-line encyclopedia, can save you. And don't forget the
Connecticut Digital Library with a host of databases and reference materials for students and adults.
