Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

In celebration of Project Gutenberg's 35th Birthday, the site http://www.worldebookfair.com/Collections.htm  &nb sp;is offering free access to the public from July 4th to August 4th. What a wonderful collection! The children's picture book section is small but many have gorgeous illustrations that are worth downloading by themselves. The Children's Garden of Verse, Nursery Friends from France and the Pirates and the Great Sea Rover are lovely! The offerings for adults are varied and fascinating. FYI.

YIC,

Marjorie

Thank you for reminding me about this! What a great resource.

I was browsing and I just realized that it is only $8.95 per year to join! I will have to sign up when the free month is over.

YsiC,

I was really excited about this but am having trouble getting results. Are you searching for subjects or titles or authors? I was hoping to find some Catholic Catechism books for Marianna but keep getting the most awful results...

Hi - This is a great site for free books you can print off and read. It is always free and has many good books. These are older books like the Illiad for Children and books about saints for children among a few. I thought you might want to browse the site. I have printed off lots of these for our History of Ancient Rome. If the link does not work it is called The Baldwins Online Children's Literature Program. Hope you can use it
