I serendipitously happened across this website today, http://en.childrenslibrary.org/, the International Children's Digital Library.
ICDL is a collaboratively developed database of multi cultural work's of children's fiction that have been digitised and are available to read online. It's a fabulous and expanding resource for anyone wishing to sample the best of foreign language books or to simply expand their pool of reading material, and more importantly it's perfect for teachers or librarians to encourage children to read and learn outside their own cultures.
You can become a member of the ICDL, or sponsor, or even contribute books to the digitisation project to help develop the resource.
It's well worth a visit, I highly recommend you check it out, if not to contribute but to simply enjoy reading something completely different!
