About the CCBC: Our long name comes from a long history of being cooperatively, or jointly, funded by several different agencies. We are currently a library of the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and receive additional funding from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction through the Division for Libraries and Technology. The CCBC’s noncirculating collections include current, retrospective and historical books published for children and young adults. The CCBC supports teaching, learning and research related to children’s and young adult literature and provides informational and educational services based on its collections to students and faculty on the UW-Madison campus as well as librarians, teachers, child care providers, researchers and other adults throughout the state of Wisconsin. Outreach to librarians and teachers across Wisconsin is another essential dimension of CCBC services. A vital gathering place for books, ideas and expertise, the CCBC is committed to identifying excellent literature for children and adolescents and bringing this literature to the attention of those adults who have an academic, professional or career interest in connecting young readers with books.The CCBC was established in 1963. Anyone can pick up a copy of the current CCBC Choices, our annual best-of-the-year list, here at the CCBC while supplies last. To order copies, go to our Choices page for complete information, including back issues available in print, and how to access back issues through Minds@UW, the UW-Madison Digital Library.
