Educational Resource Center



The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Library Educational Resource Center, located on the fourth floor, is a place and a gateway that provides information and resources for students, educators, professors, parents, and all others interested in K-12 education in Silicon Valley.

The ERC contains the following collections:

Award Winning Books - award winning children's book (both fiction and nonfiction). These include many different award winners, not just the Newbery and Caldecott winners that most people are already familiar with.

Big Books - oversize copies of children's books, often classics.

California Textbooks - includes textbooks adopted by the state of California for use in classrooms; also includes some supplementary materials. These materials have a 1 week loan period and may not be placed on hold. Faculty and grad students may check them out for longer loan periods. Older textbooks and those no longer adopted are located in the lower level of the King Library.

Curriculum - includes professional development materials based on current learning theory and research; also includes lesson planning materials for practical application in classrooms.

Libraries and Learning - materials that focus specifically on information literacy and school libraries.
