To find children's books in Russian in our catalog:

• do a subject search (from the Advanced Search page) for "Russian language materials" -- be sure to include the quotation marks
• narrow your results using the Collection facet, on the right side of the screen when looking at search results in the catalog:  clicking on Juvenile Collection (or Marriott Reserve) will restrict the display to items in that collection, both of which are found on Level 3
• to see only the bilingual books, add "bilingual" to your search ("Russian language materials bilingual")
• you can also consult the spreadsheet below, keeping in mind that results in the catalog will always be more up to date
