NOTE: These are archived from the Print Versions. Links may no longer be active; we are sorry for the inconvenience! Also, because we've had several requests in the recent past, we are putting these up hastily and not fixing even the navigational links. Please use your browser's back button.

This is a cooperative project written by teachers and librarians from all over our state. These activity guides, often based on the Maine Student Book Awards, employ the philosophy of Information Power to illustrate information literacy activities joined with children's and young adult literature.
