Dear Friends, My school, the one I went to as a child in my hometown in Tamil Nadu more than 65 years ago, is looking for free-to-download (open access) books and magazines in all subjects + books of general interest suitable for children of classes 6-12. In English and Tamil mainly. Are there lists of such books you know of? If you were in charge of building such a collection, how would you go about it? I will be grateful for your help. With regards, Subbiah Arunachalam -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
