If there’s an author you appreciate, one of the simplest, most helpful, least expensive things you can do for them is ask your public library to add that author’s newest book to their collection.

Many library websites have a form for that. So give it a try, and make an author’s day!

When I got to the the slide for Midnight at the Barclay Hotel, an entire 5th grade class erupted into applause! It was the best moment! @fleurbradley.bsky.social #CCBA #CCBAaward #kidlit 👍📚

Loved this one by @barbaraoconnor.bsky.social and not just because it is set in NC! Keep dreaming BIG, have gumption, and surround yourself with friends and “family” that believe in you. On its way to you @yvettecoughlin1.bsky.social. @mackidssl.bsky.social #BookPosse
