The Children's Collection includes a rare edition of Pilgrim's Progress, a 1777 New England Primer, and an 1898 edition of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales.

This non-circulating collection, located in the Children's Collection of Blagg-Huey Library on the Garden Level, includes milestone books from the 18th and 19th century, as well as general fiction, novelty picture books, series titles, story collections, Mother Goose and poetry, nonfiction and biographies, related professional reference works, and early readers designed for instruction.
The Historical Collection is available to patrons by appointment only. Please call Denton Circulation at 940-898-3719 for additional information.
