Children's Literature Collection at Evans Library

The Curriculum Collection is a special collection of materials and resources that can be used to enrich and support Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) and PK-12 curriculum. The collection is divided into two main sections: the Textbook Collection and the Juvenile Literature Collection.

The Juvenile Literature Collection consists of both fiction and nonfiction reading materials that foster growth, promote individual reading interests, and encourage the enjoyment of reading. The collection contains award-winning children's literature and some non-English reading materials. Books for all ages are intershelved within the collection.

The Curriculum Collection is located on the fourth floor of Evans Library near the skywalk to the Annex.
