Children's Literature

Most books are available through your public library or local bookstore. Check your library catalog. Click here to access online public library catalogs by county. If you do not find a book at your public library request an interlibrary loan. This is a free service available at all PA public libraries with your library card. You may also search ACCESS PA by clicking here. This will enable you to search all libraries in PA. Only a few libraries automatically update their holdings on this site so an individual library may actually have a book even though it is not listed on the ACCESS PA site.  Best to contact your local library for an interlibrary loan if you do not see the book you desire as they have current search engines. Books published within the past 6 months are not available for interlibrary loan.
