Searching Library Search for Children's books
The best place to start searching for Children's books is in the Library Collection.
We suggest you start with a Keyword search in Library Search.
Using the Location Facet in combination with a subject or a resource type is very effective.
Adding the word Juvenile to a search term will also bring children's literature to the top. This is particularly effective when searching beyond our library collections.
** When searching for a particular book, placing the title in quotes can help.
