Children and Young Adult Literature

Rowan University Libraries' Children & YA Literature resources include online and print resources. A selective print collection is located on Campbell Library's 2nd floor.

Welcome

The Children and Young Adult Literature Research Guide lists current and historical materials relevant to researchers in disciplines such as English, Reading, History, and Literature, as well as to elementary education students.  

Finding Books

Rowan University Libraries has two collections of literature for or about children and young adults: the Picture Book collection (labeled EasyFic) and the Children's and Young Adult Collection (labeled Child Fic or Child YA Fic).  

During the renovation of Campbell Library books are available online or through library pickup. To browse the collection, use Library Search, select "Subject" and enter search terms such as "Picture Books for Children", "Children's Stories", "Children's Literature", Children's Poetry" in the Subject line. Limit the Resource Type to "Books". 

To find a specific title use the Library Search and type in a few keywords (e.g., an author name or book title).

To request a physical book use Library Search to locate the title and select the "Library Pickup" option for your title and the item will be sent to the library Information Desk. Please allow 1-2 business days for this process of retrieval. You will be notified when it is ready for pick-up. Books can be returned to the same Information Desk or to our return box outside.
