The Constantine Georgiou Library and Resource Center for Children and Literature is a home for research, scholarship, and community activities associated with children’s literature and literacy.
About the Library
Named to honor writer, scholar, and late NYU Steinhardt professor, Constantine Georgiou, the Center’s collection encourages New York City children and their parents to engage with books and develop a love of reading.
The Constantine Georgiou Library is where scholarship meets community impact in children’s literature and literacy. We position NYU as a leader in early literacy practices, foster research and scholarship on children’s and young adult literature, serve as a vital resource for Steinhardt faculty and students, partner with organizations beyond our campus, and curate a collection reflecting the global diversity of children’s voices and experiences.
The Georgiou Library is supported by the E.H.A. Foundation.

For children, it is in their nature to stretch minds and horizons; to laugh and play; to seek aesthetic satisfaction through enjoyment of beauty; to sit in judgment of the past and envision the future...Literature for children adds immeasurably to the enrichment of life.
