Books for children

I would translate this in the following way: Libros para niños.

I saw libros por niños, and wonder if it is correct. Does it mean libros escritos por niños? (books written by children).

Right.
And also "libros infantiles", "literatura infantil". (The second one, could be ambiguous, ie., texts written for children and/or by children)
