School Edition
I found that World Book Kids is a very simplistic easy to understand description, geared to the younger audience. Pictures are readily available. Student version is similar but the information is more in depth.
Advanced has the left and right columns broken down into subcategories for quick and easy access to the information you are looking for. I think users will like the ease in finding exactly what they are looking for without having to read the whole article.
World Book Discover will help those who have trouble reading or reading English with the read aloud toolbar. Again this is very easy to navigate.
Public Library Edition
I found that the Kids,Info Finder, and Reference is very similar to the school edition kids,Student, and Advanced version. The kids edition if very bright and appealing. I like that you can double click on a word and the definition comes up. Also it can read the text to them. The Info Finder is more in depth. The Reference edition has a nice feature on the right hand side where it will point you to more information on the subject, such as other books, web sites, magazine articles, and interactive maps.
Foreign Language Edition
Since we do have a small Spanish speaking section, this edition would be of great assistance to them. It can even be of benefit to those trying to learn Spanish. The picture dictionary had each word printed although no sound to help in pronunciation.

Welcome aboard, LeAnn! Glad you found some useful things in World Book. Kids at your library might like the educational games in the Games section of the Public Library Edition Kids version, and the Science Projects section may be helpful, too.
