Search our collections

The Children's Literature Research Collections is open to the public, but supervised use by researchers is confined to the Elmer L. Andersen Library Reading Room, and all materials must be pulled in advance by a staff person. Information on finding books or archival material is below.

Contact asc-clrc@umn.edu for reference assistance or to set up an appointment to view materials.

Books

To find books, please search the University of Minnesota Library catalog.

Looking for children's books you can check out?

Everything held at the CLRC must be viewed on-site. If you are looking for a circulating children's collection on campus, the College of Education and Human Development hosts a small Curriculum Library in Peik Hall.

For larger circulating collections of children's literature, we recommend checking out your local public library.
