Looking for an award-winning middle-grade fantasy title or five books to use in a thematic unit on dinosaurs? CLCD makes it easier. Are you curating a display of dystopic young adult fiction? Need to help a child locate the books on their reading level? CLCD has got you covered.

CLCD provides professional reviews and one search access to PreK-12 media of all types. The database compiles and creates information such as book reviews, thematic lists, award listings, and curriculum tools to help connect books with their readers.

This tool is useful for both future and current librarians and teachers who can use it for reader’s advisory, collection development, and curriculum development.  When pre-service teachers need help forming their first classroom libraries, they can start with CLCD to locate quality content to help get them started. Librarians use it as a one-stop review shop to read reviews from well-established sources to determine whether or not they want to add a book to their collection.

 Content includes:

  • Over 1,000,000 Titles
  • More than 50 Professional Review Sources (600,000+ Reviews).
  • 1000+ National and International Young Adult and Children’s Book Awards
  • Thousands of Regional, State and National Best Books Lists
  • Lexiles, Accelerated Reader and Reading Counts RMPs
  • Thousands of Author/Illustrator Links
