This library could be a very useful resource for any school library that wants to expose its patrons to other cultures.

ICDL mission is

to support the world’s children in becoming
effective members of the global community – who exhibit tolerance and
respect for diverse cultures, languages and ideas — by making the best
in children’s literature available online free of charge. The
Foundation pursues its vision by building a digital library of
outstanding children’s books from around the world and supporting
communities of children and adults in exploring and using this
literature through innovative technology designed in close partnership
with children for children.
