Juvenile Series*
The Juvenile Series and Sequels database by Mid-Continent Public Library contains over 36,000 books in 4,900 series titles that are classified into three audiences: Juvenile Easy [JE] for birth – 2nd grade; Juvenile [J] for 2nd through 6th grade; Young Adult [YA] for 6th through 12th grade. View by series title, series subject, book title, book author.

* This database offer a “find it” feature that allows users to choose to search the catalog, check amazon, or find the title on goodreads. The library that created the database is NOT part of our library system, so the catalog search feature will NOT let you know if Cuba Library or anyone in our system owns the book. You will have to manually search STARCat to find the title in our system.
