America's Library, a new Web site from the Library of Congress for kids and their families, was launched on the Library's Bicentennial date, April 24, 2000. This easy-to-use, colorful and interactive site is designed to make learning about history fun. Using rare and sometimes unusual items from the collections of the Library, the site aims to introduce children to many fascinating historical materials and the stories they tell. The site is being widely advertised by a public service campaign supported by the Ad Council with the theme:

"There is a better way to have fun with history... Log On, Play Around, Learn Something."
