There are many strategies for locating multicultural children's books in the Sojourner Truth Library. One way to locate related titles is to start in the STL Catalog's Advanced Search. Try the keyword multicultural. You can also do a keyword search for a specific culture.

When the catalog generates your results, limit it further by selecting "Juvenile Works" "Juvenile Collection" or "Juvenile Young Adult Collection" on the left hand side and apply the filter.

By applying this filter, the catalog will show books for children that relate to the keywords you searched.

The Juvenile Collection is on the concourse level (middle floor). It is arranged by call number, so be sure to copy the full call number before going to look for it in the Juvenile Collection.
