The Festival Preview Collection, coordinated by Kathy Latrobe and located in the School of Library and Information Studies, contains new releases of books for young people. The purpose of the collection is to allow Oklahoma teachers and librarians hands-on access to new materials before they make selection decisions. Groups and individuals may use the Preview Collection Monday through Friday and most evenings and weekends. Contact Kathy Latrobe for current weekend and evening hours.
