Stop in at the library to explore a whole bunch of books about hurricanes and other natural disasters. If you're interested in browsing books about all sorts of different weather and natural disasters, take a look in our nonfiction section around the Dewey Decimal Number 550. And of course, you can always ask a librarian if there's something specific you're curious about.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
In addition to wonderful books, we can also connect you with a wealth of other electronic resources. The Watertown Free Public Library subscribes to all sorts of wonderful, kid-friendly databases that you can access for free with your library card!
You can access all of our databases either in the library or by visiting our website from your home computer. (If you're accessing them from home you'll need to type your library card number.) Pick a database that looks good to you and just type "Hurricane" (or whatever else you're curious about) into the search box.
Kids InfoBits - This database is great for kids in grades K-5.
InfoTrack Junior - This one's excellent for upper elementary and middle school students.
PebbleGo - This one's great for the younger crowd. First choose if you're interested in Animals or Earth and Space (for hurricanes, choose Earth and Space), then browse or use the search box.
World Book Encyclopedia Online Student Edition - World Book Online for Kids is great for elementary, and World Book Online Info Finder is best for middle school students.
