The Clearinghouse continues to provide access to many new books for educators who love children’s literature. Every year, publishers are generous enough to send us (free of charge) their latest and greatest selections. Currently, our facility houses several years’ worth of published books. The Clearinghouse functions like a library; anyone associated with Western who has a W number is welcome to come check out books! Woodring students and the wider Western community are also welcome to come to enjoy books while the Clearinghouse is open without checking any out.
The Clearinghouse is an amazing resource especially for Woodring students because of the crucial role literature plays in a child’s life. Even if you aren’t currently in a practicum experience, becoming familiar with children’s literature can be hugely beneficial to your professional career as an educator. Children’s literature may also play a role in other careers; students preparing for a career in psychology may find children’s books to be a guide and resource in helping children of all ages. School guidance counselors, speech and language specialists, or pediatricians can all utilize children’s books in their work, and the Clearinghouse can be a great place to start.
WWU is an equal opportunity institution. Requests for disability accommodations should be made in advance with enough time given to implement the request. Please contact the department by email ELED@wwu.edu or phone 360-650-3336 to make a request for reasonable accommodations.
