Who can use the CCBC?
Although we are specifically funded to serve students, faculty and staff on the UW-Madison campus, and school and public librarians and teachers in Wisconsin, we welcome any adult who has an interest in children’s and young adult literature. You don’t have to have a special ID or pass to come to the library, and dropping by unannounced is fine. But we encourage you to contact us ahead of time if you have a specific need or interest and would like to meet with a librarian during your visit or have books for pulled and waiting for you when you arrive. Individuals make use of the CCBC in a variety of ways. We often assist students in UW-Madison classes, especially from the School of Education and School of Library and Information Studies, as they work on assignments for classes, or as they look for book ideas for their practicum or student teaching assignments. Librarians from across the state visit the CCBC to examine newly published books firsthand as they decide what to purchase. Teach
