The Children's Book Center

The Children's Book Center (CBC) is a joint venture between the University Libraries of Bowling Green State University (BGSU) and the Cooperative Services for Children's Literature (CSCL). The purpose of the collection is to make exceptional recently published children's books available to northwest Ohio educators and librarians through a variety of forums, including an onsite examination center at the Curriculum Resource Center and an annual book and reader conference. Books that represent a wide variety of curriculum-related topics are continually added to the collection by participating publishers. Books may be reviewed at the CBC or in sessions facilitated by CSCL Board members at northwest Ohio Schools or libraries. For more information, or to schedule a book review session at your school or library please contact the Curriculum Resource Center at 419-372-2956.
