Biblionasium is a free, protected social network for children ages 6-13 designed to engage, encourage and excite children about reading.
Kids read better when they do it consistently and as part of a peer community. The engaging and challenging environment of Biblionasium provides the tools and support to make a real difference in building interest in reading for pleasure – and a life-long love of books.
Unlike any other child’s online reading community, Biblionasium links parents, educators and young readers through a unique collection of tools, games and community-building experiences. And it’s all safe; kids can’t sign up or participate without permission of a parent or supervising educator (teacher/librarian/other).
