 New from the Mid-Hudson Library System. Kids' Port was launched to help parents and kids find fun, safe, and educational Internet choices.
The site was carefully designed by librarians in the Mid-Hudson Library System for children from preschool to age 10 and their parents. As always, parents are encouraged to explore the Internet with their children to find sites appropriate for their reading and maturity levels.
