Rubinstein Library

The Rubinstein Library at Cincinnati Children's is the place for patients and families to turn for extensive health-related information on developmental and behavioral issues and related children’s health conditions.

We are a free service open to the community. Our goal is to provide access to resources, whether that is medical research delivered to staff, health-related information provided to patients or families, or a storybook for a child.

The library has over 2,000 books with a non-fiction collection covering a wide range of developmental and behavioral disorders, and a children’s literature collection meant to entertain and educate. The library also has a small collection of educational aids meant to develop skills such as hand-eye coordination, large and fine motor skills, and social skills.
