Dear Emily,
I would like to call your attention to our Juvenile and Young Adult
collections. Our Library's primary mission is exactly the topics you are
interested in. In particular, I call your attention to the "Once Upon a World
Children's Book Award" which awards to books for both young readers (age 6-10)
and young adult (age 11 and up). The Book Award winners are available at
www.museumoftolerance.com/library.
You may also browse the other holdings on these subjects in our model library
by accessing our on line catalog. This can be done in both websites.
www.museumoftolerance.com/library or www.wiesenthal.com/library.
If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me.
Good luck on your project and search.
