CCBC was established in 1963 and is part of the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It provides a non-circulating collection of books and support for all those interested in children's and young adults' literature.

… the listserv is great: there is no better place on the web for a serious and informed discussion about children's books in the United States …

• The Collection hosted by CCBC comprises current children's and young adults' books, historical children's books, and reference material;
• CCBC also offers specialized reference assistance in person or over the phone;
• If you don't live nearby, check out the CCBC website, with a Virtual Resources Collection that provides links to websites focused on children's literature, the children's book industry, multicultural literature, authors and illustrators;
• Since 1997, the Book of the Week page has offered readers one book review per week - and it's become quite a resource! We are lucky enough to have been granted permission to reproduce some of these fine reviews on PaperTigers - take a look at the Book Reviews section to read them;
• CCBC-Net listserv is an excellent electronic forum to discuss children's and young adults' books; topics change very often, and there are always thoughtful and well-informed opinions from the participants.
