Welcome to the Children's Literature Award Book LibGuide

This page is a collection of resources, a starting place for information on Ashland University Library's juvenile collection. Explore the tabs located at the top of the page to learn more about Caldecott, Newbery, and Coretta Scott King award books, IRC reference resources for children's literature, children's book review information featuring library database links, and quick links to a complete listing of library holdings for Caldecott and Newbery.

The purpose of Ashland University Library's juvenile collection is to support the Dwight Schar College of Education curriculum. Intended for AU students, pre-service teachers, student teachers, and faculty members, the juvenile collection is also used by Ashland community borrowers and OhioLINK patrons.

Titles added to the juvenile collection, both fiction and non-fiction, are subject to professional reviews before purchase. Review resources include, but are not limited to, Booklist, Book Links, The Horn Book Magazine, School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and The Reading Teacher.

The juvenile collection includes award winning titles such as Newbery and Caldecott winner and honor books, Coretta Scott King award books, ALA Best Books for Young Adults, Notable Children's books, and Children's and Teacher's Choice award books.

Students are encouraged to preview, read and evaluate books before using them in a classroom setting. This step is necessary to determine if selected titles are appropriate for individual classroom situations. If you have questions about a particular title, consult with your professor or cooperating teacher before using it in the classroom.
