Public Libraries

The free two-day, virtual festival in October will celebrate some of the biggest names in children's literature and share Latinx representation and stories with kids in classrooms across the country.

In back-to-school season, educators can use these books to convey the message that perfection isn’t required, good enough is good enough, and every child—and every child’s creation—has inherent value.

Amid threats and hate-fueled protests, performers and allies remain committed to the program.

Ed tech platform Edmodo will shut down in September, the Center for Antiracist Education will no longer produce new materials; Sora is a Google Classroom add-on, and more in this edition of News Bites.

Educators may naturally seek to help those who are struggling at school, but some high performers can need a different kind of support—to know that imperfect is OK.

Children's literature has lost another giant with the death of Jim Murphy; Colin Kaepernick to release a graphic memoir; SCBWI launches new fund and programs; and more in this edition of News Bites.

Summer is a great time for kids to listen to podcasts, and libraries can direct them to ones they will enjoy.
