Q. Does the library have children's books?

Yes! As of January 2024, the HKS Library has over 20 picture books and children's novels available for HKS students, staff, faculty, and your families to check out. Half of the books are considered modern children's classics, while the other half represents a diverse array of identities, cultures, and familial structures in an age-appropriate way. Explore the full list of HKS children's books in HOLLIS.

The children's books are located in the Library Commons, so you can check them out whenever HKS campus buildings are open. You can borrow the books for up to two weeks.

Even more children's books and young adult fiction are available at Gutman Library at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Explore Gutman's collection in HOLLIS.
