Children/Teens, Parents and Teachers!

When possible, grade levels have been included in the link description - these are only suggestions however. These are open public sites and parents and children should explore them together. Parents are highly encouraged to participate in their child's online research.

Access to some of these resources will require a Library barcode and password . Please contact the library (541-889-6371) for assistance in accessing the databases or if you have questions. Programs sponsored by LEO and The Ontario Library District.
