Also Kid’s Zone is a special section on the library’s website that includes homework help in a variety of forms. Go to the library’s home page at http://www.camdencountylibrary.org/ and click on Using the Library at the top where visitors will find the Kids Zone menu that includes a link to the Homework Help page.

The Homework Page has a variety of websites that are great sources of information for students and parents. The page also offers a link to Ask a Librarian service by email, telephone or onsite at one of the library’s eight branches: Bellmawr, Gloucester Twp., Ferry Ave. (Camden), Haddon Twp., Merchantville, Rutgers (Camden-Downtown), South County (Winslow Twp.) or Voorhees.

Searchasaurus is one of the resources available on the homework help page that enables students and their parents to search thousands of articles. It has an online general encyclopedia and an animal encyclopedia that offers a lot of information about animals from around the world. According to EBSCOhost, the online publisher of Searchasaurus, it’s an animated interface with a dinosaur theme that encourages young researchers to develop their basic search skills. Children enjoy using the resource because of its colorful, animated searching features. The Homework Help page also offers Primary Search, a database geared to finding age-appropriate magazine articles for children. Scroll down the homework help page to find other information sources on a variety of subjects that can be useful in completing homework.

Some of the sources on Kids Zone like Searchasaurus require a barcode number found on the back any valid library card, but many of the online sources do not require a card and are accessible from any Internet connection at http://www.camdencountylibrary.org/homework-help
