CORE Collection The Medina County District Library provides sets of books for educators, librarians, and others interested in sharing excellent literature with young people. The C.O.R.E. Collection consists of multiple copies of over 100 paperback titles, representing a variety of reading levels. In this catalog, titles are grouped by grade level, but not every book in a grade level category will be appropriate for the younger children in that age group. All titles have been chosen to challenge and delight young people as they develop reading and thinking skills. (http://www.mcdl.info/pdf/core collection .pdf)

These tools were developed by Dr. Grover C. Whitehurst and Dr. Christopher Lonigan, well-known researchers in emergent literacy, and have been tested and refined by library demonstrations sites around the country.
