Looking+for+a+good+read

Kidalog was developed by a parent of an elementary school student in Palo Alto. Kidalog allows students to search for books by genre. Within each theme, they can then search for books based on their age. The program uses World Cat to find books in a public library near you. Once you click on the link to access Kidalog, click on //At a Public Library Near You (via WorldCat)// to look for books in a public library near you.
