Bibliography for Service-Learning Books

The Leonard Center has several helpful resources to assist faculty members in implementing service-learning into their courses. The available resources are listed under two categories. The first section lists general service-learning books. The second shows the holdings from the American Association for Higher Education’s Service-Learning Series by discipline.

Faculty may borrow these resources from the Leonard Center. In addition, if faculty members desire additional titles to be added to the available resources, they may make the request to the Leonard Center as well.
