Two students studying in the Mann Family Skybridge of Wilson Library

Children’s Literature and Poetry

Children's books spark the imagination, provide insight into cultural values, and inspire artistic design. The Western Libraries collections (which includes both circulating and special collections) contain a wide range of prose, poetry, and illustrations that reflect the breadth, continuing evolution, complexity and controversy of literature written for children and young adults. With a special emphasis on growing the only comprehensive collection in the United States dedicated to poetry written for children and teens, an investment by community partners is essential.

 Your gift helps support library student employees' engagement in professional development and scholarship opportunities by funding registration fees, travel expenses and other costs associated with professional growth. Western Libraries Student Advisory Group will play an active role in recommending the best way to use these funds in order to make the most positive impact on Libraries student employees.
