The 2020 SLJ Summit finished with a  personal, thought-provoking conversation between Cullors and Tennessee school librarian Erika Long.

To meet the requests of staff, the White Plains School District reached out to a community partner to provide support groups.

Artist, activist, and educator Cullors will join Nashville school librarian Erika Long in conversation as the final session of the 2020 SLJ Summit. The event theme: "Culture Shift."

As experts continue to try to learn more about the coronavirus and transmission, the REALM Project reports on results of the fifth round of testing library materials.

A new book and educator organization hope to help teachers bring civics into all classrooms and create a bridge between academic skills and effective participants in society.

The honored titles include a graphic novel documenting a refugee's journey, a story of grief and sexual identity, and historical fiction about Japanese American teenagers incarcerated during World War II.

School librarian Jaynie Korzi made an interactive digital book display spotlighting challenged books that are in the library's collection.

Sherman Alexie's "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian" tops the list.
