Juvenile Collection
A growing and varied collection (and one of our oldest) is our Juvenile collection. Originally it was created to support courses at the Library school. Today the audience is much wider, as is the collection, containting over 7,000 books and over a dozen journals covering juvenile literature and librarianship.
Supporting students in the public library specialty as well as librarians and researchers in children's literature, the collection covers journals, picture books, young adult novels, and non-fiction. Our strongest holdings include award winners, and increasingly Western European titles as well.
