Series and non-state approved texts are available in the

| Children's/Young
Adult Literature |
| Although there are children's and young
adult books in the curriculum a larger collection is housed
on the 5th floor of the Library. This collection consists
of books for children from preschool age through 12th
grade. Most of the titles are award winning books or books
which have been highly recommended by teachers and librarians
for use with children and adolescents. It should be noted

Titles which fall into this category are shelved in the
general collection. |

30 children's

are also several practical
teacher's magazines located in the center. They can
be found in designated file cabinets. They do not circulate. |
