Children's Literature Collection Offers Resources for Women's History Month
March is Women's History Month, and the Children's Literature Collection has a variety of materials to help celebrate. A virtual book display created by Tucker Moretta, a libraries graduate assistant, working with Laura Cameron, education librarian, features relevant books and lesson plans. Physical books are also on display in the Children's Literature Collection, located on the lobby level of Mullins Library in the northwest corner of the building.
"This month's virtual children's literature display highlights the lives, passions and achievements of women," Cameron said. "We invite you to check out a book from the collection and explore the ways women have changed, and continue to change, the world in all areas, from art to technology."
The display includes titles such as I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark, written by Debbie Levy and illustrated by Elizabeth Bradley.
The Children's Literature Collection includes books suitable for children pre-K to 12th grade. The collection is organized into eight sections to allow for easier browsing: picture books, early readers, chapter and middle grade books, young adult novels, graphic novels, traditional tales, biographies and non-fiction. Each section is identified with a five-digit code, color-coded spine stickers and shelf signage.
