Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this content analysis of picture books depicting libraries for children ages birth to seven years, I examine the way Wiegand’s concept of library as place acts as a suitable framework for the literature. Embedded into library as place is the multidimensional and inclusive vision of place-making, one which expands the library from simply a physical structure to a transferrable value. Through an examination of the text and illustrations of 75 picture books depicting libraries, I have grouped similar representations of library as place and discussed the relationship between attitude, context, and space in framing the multidimensionality of library as place. The result is a list of core titles that library practitioners may reference to build early library literacy and library advocacy in children.
