WeGiveBooks.org

So as I was diligently working, searching for resources to put on a Moodle course on Ancient Egypt via Nettrekker, I came across a site that had a great book (History Dudes: Ancient Egyptians) that could be read online. WeGiveBooks.org provides access to children's books that can be accessed and read online for free. There is also the hope on their part that you will make a donation, or get involved with an organization that supports the spread of literacy. Here is a description from their site: We Give Books is a new digital initiative that enables anyone with access to the Internet to put books in the hands of children who don't have them, simply by reading online.  We Give Books combines the joy of reading with the power of helping others, providing a platform for caregivers and educators to inspire children to become lifelong readers and lifelong givers.  We Give Books also helps some of the world's best, most inspiring, literacy organizations by spreading the word about their great work and by providing books to the young people these organizations support.
