To pursue this mission, the focus of the Center includes:

• Considering multicultural and international literature a core resource for learning about the world,

• Promoting issues of social justice in curriculum using children’s books,

• Fostering a community of children’s literature educators and scholars,

• Providing outreach activities and programs to support librarians and teachers,

• Embracing digital forms of literature and information as resources and tools, and

• Partnering with schools, libraries, organizations, and committed individuals to support this mission through collaborative efforts sharing materials, resources, and expertise.
