Public Libraries

School and public librarians across the U.S. are preparing lessons and programming to educate and excite kids about the April 8th solar eclipse, which will appear in totality in parts of 13 states.

The U.S. ranks second in the world for the most ­Spanish speakers, after Mexico. With shortages of bilingual teachers reported nationwide, librarians and publishers consider meeting an acute need.

Downward dog, mindful breathing, and other practices enrich public library programming.

From diaper changing to CPR and managing a business, these skills prepare future sitters.

When it comes to young learners, wonder is a key tool. It helps children become self-motivated learners, excited to explore where their knowledge will take them.

Ring in 2024 with these skillful compositions and top-notch vocal and instrumental performances, perfect for story hours, classrooms, or family time, including an album of songs based on banned books. 

If there’s one thing librarians can agree on it’s that library education could use some shaking up. Enter the Radical Librarianship Institute, which strives to “redefine the role of librarians, centering principles of inclusion and social justice.”

These public library programs reach out to all kids. 

Artfully designed casewraps, endpapers, flaps, and even copyright pages bring young readers deep into a picture book's world and spark engagement.
