J is for Juvenile #atozchallenge

J is for Juvenile Juvenile seems like an outdated term but libraries still catalog  books for children as Juvenile fiction or Juvenile nonfiction.   Did you know that children were not always welcomed in libraries? Early libraries were not free and open to the public. Usually they consisted of books collected by wealthy individuals who […]

I is for Iraq #atozchallenge

I is for Iraq One of the saddest things imaginable to bibliophiles, is the destruction of a library. Librarians fearlessly defend the right of their patrons to have access to information and they care for the collections entrusted to them so that they will be available for future generations.

For the Right to Learn – Malala Yousafzai #readyourworld

Multicultural Children’s Book Day is a day set aside to celebrate the importance of diversity in the books written and shared with children. For many years, books with characters from different cultures, ethnic groups, and religions have been difficult to find. That is changing, however, as authors, publishers, librarian, and teachers seek out books that […]
