American Library Association's 2012 Great Websites for Kids
During the Great Web Sites Fall 2012 selection process, BAMONA was one of nine sites selected as a Great Web Sites for Kids addition. See the selection critera.
Great Web Sites for Kids are those considered the best web sites for ages birth to 14, outstanding in both content and conception. As applied to web sites for young people, "great" should be thought to include sites of especially commendable quality and sites that reflect and encourage young people's interests in exemplary ways.
