onTheir Own?”Kid's Catalog,developedby CARL Systems,Inc.and the DenverPublic Library,addresses that need.  \nThe Capitol Region Library Council hasimplemented the Kid's Catalog in 20public libraries in the Greater Hartfordarea as part of CONNECT,CRLC'sshared automated information system,which uses CARL Systems software.Kid's Catalog is also marketed throughDynix.  \nKid's Catalog is a graphical
