I think the official #OLASC drinking game is "drink every time a librarian references Heated Rivalry. #Skybrary

"There is also a normalization of fear and trauma in the library–between physical and verbal threats of violence from patrons, the ongoing threat of book challenges and censorship, and overall political hostility, library workers carry a lot with them every single day." 📚 #Skybrary #Libraries

When the Tides Held the Moon by Venessa Vida Kelley: A Review A version of this piece originally appeared in the Washington Independent Review of Books: After his aunt's death, Benigno "Benny" Caldera came to New York the way Tití Luz had wanted. "In her hard-boiled opinion, Nueva York was a stockpile of the freedom America had pledged to Puerto Rico" and emigrating there would help Benny to find a new community.

A Russian blue cat snuggles with a book on a grey couch

Another glowing endorsement for Maria Coco's book "Cats Love Books, Too," this time from my own kitty, Noxie, who clearly loves this book too! Haha
I think Noxie just proved the thesis of this book 😂💕

An interior spread of a book, Cats Love Books Too. No the left two grumpy cats are staring at a picture book being held by a little girl wearing a yellow headband

I absolutely love the limited colour palette of Maria Coco's picture book " Cats love Books, too." It's also a really sweet book that hits home if you love books and own a cat, which I do lol. Sharing a couple of my favourite spreads, I'm loving the expressions so much!

In the Company of Killers by Elora Cook: A Review A more condensed version of this review appeared in an issue of School Library Journal: Seventeen-year-old Natasha "Tasha" Nicastro is always at the top of the social ladder. Right where she belongs, in her opinion, as part of one of the most respected families in Scarsdale. But even with her shrewd social acumen, Tasha is shocked to learn that her family's status comes from more than their generational wealth and strong investments.
