Yes, the Downtown Learning Commons has a book collection to support early childhood education classes. It is on the second floor near the main books stacks.

This collection consists of a variety of children's books including picture books, books on numbers, science, history, and biography. We offer a selection of Award winning books, including: Newberry, Coretta Scott King, Belpre, Caldecott, and Stonewall, from the earliest years of the awards to the present. To support students in the program there are books on lesson plans, creating classrooms, and general information to support work in the early childhood education field. 

If you want a particular book and know the author or title you can use Library Search, the Learning Commons' online catalog, to find a book in the collection. You can also search the online catalog by keyword.

We also offer LibGuides on how to create a Successful Story Time and Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Education, for 24/7 support for students in the program.
