<p class="MsoNormal">All public libraries in Oregon have free access to the Gale databases, include Kids InfoBits, which pull together encyclopedias, almanacs, atlases, images, magazine articles, and news sources in one place online for K-5<sup>th</sup> grade
students. Kids InfoBits has a developmentally appropriate graphic interface to make it easy for children to browse and find the information they need for their homework. Once they find the information they need, an icon shows them if it is written at a basic,
intermediate, or advanced reading level. Kids can also easily see the number of words in the article and the Lexile®.<o:p></o:p></p>
