Hello List:

     The American Action Fund operates the Kenneth Jernigan Memorial library 
that lends Twin Vision Books. The service is free. Their web site is:
http://www.actionfund.org

I used a bunch of their books when I helped at a Mothers Day Out program. 
Project Gutenberg and BookShare also have some childrens books.

Regards,
