Find Books
Hawaii Voyager Library Catalog
Hint: The term sex instruction works better in a catalog search than sex education. Try "advanced search" for "sex instruction" as a phrase AND juvenile - both as keywords. This will bring up some examples of books for kids, that you can look at - for inspiration only! Remember that you can borrow books from any UH system library - see Intrasystem Loan Guidelines for help with how to request a book from another UH library.
Worldcat: a giant database of library catalogs.
Find books in libraries around the world in a giant database of library catalogs. The term sex instruction will work here, too, but look for the "subtype limits" towards the bottom of the search screen to limit your search to juvenile materials. To borrow books you find in Worldcat that arent' available in the UH system libraries, use the link "see more details for locating this item" to place an Interlibrary Loan.
