The Kids Zone web site
were originally created for the El Paso
Public Library in El Paso, Texas in 2001.
They were first hosted on the free Yahoo! GeoCities. This free web hosting service
closed down in 2009.
The
original Kids Zone pages are still
archived on the OoCities.org (GeoCities
Archive) website because the organization
thought these pages were ".. worthy and
unique scientific sources or are of great
public interest as well as those, which are
historically interesting or just
representing the 90's website culture and
style."

In 2003 the Library Kids Zone was finally
hosted on the El Paso Public Library's
website within the City of El Paso's
website. In 2009, the Library Kids
Zone website and all of the information was
updated.
In 2012, the website was removed from the
library's website. The library sadly
no longer has or wanted a Kid Zone....... or
ANY web pages specifically dedicated to
children.
In 2012, I retired from the library system.
No longer was there anyone to advocate for
web sites for children. The library
also lost their webmaster...me.
In October 2013, I decided to revive
some of the pages from the Kids Zone and host them on
this web
site. The pages with links to
outside web sites were reviewed and
updated. I owned the copyright
on all of the dinosaur images
because they were created by me on
my home computer on my own time. |
