About the Children's Literature Interdisciplinary Collection

The Children's Literature Interdisciplinary Collection provides a research center for students and faculty at Western Washington University and strives to be a regional resource for the study and scholarship of children's literature.

The purpose of the Children's Literature Interdisciplinary Collection:

• To establish a wing of the library that houses a research level collection of children's and young adult literature; providing a dynamic space to study, explore, and examine writing and illustration for child/teenage readers.
• To serve programs and courses at Western Washington University from a variety of disciplines (i.e., Communication, Art, Education, English, Theatre Arts, Library Science, and Fairhaven College)
• To provide a regional resource center for the study of children's literature. This may be accomplished through the use of the regional shared catalog, SUMMIT, by the publication and dissemination of print resources, and via the Web site.
• Support and promote special programming such as the annual Bond Children's Literature Conference, and featured author/illustrator events.
