LOOKING FOR BOOKS?
You can find books by book type, by the language of the book, by the age of the children, by the type of book, by the Peace Education strands, by the child or family’s social identity, or by special topics! Whew!! You may select as many options as you choose, but the more you click, the fewer books will come up.
Looking for a particular book? Enter a few words from the title skipping “A, An, The, I, El, La, Los”. Skip any punctuation in the title as well. Or, you can enter the author’s last name.
Wondering about books that have been banned? See our Banned Books Page. As you look at the books from our library that have been recently banned, consider why they might have been banned. Why are they important to read to children?
You selections will show beneath the choice boxes.
