The 2008 Beijing Olympics Official Page has information on event schedules, Olympic history, and a cultural guide to the city of Beijing–all interesting and informative, but it won't mention the cultural bias that has led to tens of thousands of orphaned Chinese girls. And while the site may touch on the history and people of Beijing, it can't begin to explore the depth of China's history, cover the ranging geography, or provide an intimate glimpse of the country's people through its fiction like your library can .

We have put together a special collection of links to web sites where you can find olympic information and discussion of China's human rights record.

We have also search through our collections for books and movies related to China. Our Adult Resources page focuses on materials suitable for adult readers, and the China for Kids page brings together resources you can share with your children to enrich this summer's olympic experience.
