Use LibrarySearch to search for books: 

  •  If you are looking for a title, type it in the search box. When you are looking for books on a particular subject, try a keyword search for the term(s) - it can help to add the term "juvenile" to focus the search. 
  • For an author, type the last name first.
  • Limit the "St. Thomas Location" to "Keffer Library - Children's Literature Collection" on the left-sidebar.

If Keffer Library doesn't own a book you are looking for, request the title through Interlibrary Loan and get it for free.
