Our School Library Month sock giveaway was TOE-tally successful! 50 educators will receive “reading is dreaming with your eyes open” socks.

According to School Library Journal, librarian Heather Thompson, who works at the Kenosha Public Library in Kenosha, Wisconsin, has developed a family book club using King Award winners.

The club’s February title was Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson, and this month’s book is Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis. April’s title will be One Crazy Summer by Rita William-Garcia.

March is Women’s History Month, and we want to take the opportunity to celebrate the critically important accomplishments and contributions women have made throughout history. Our special collection of Women’s History Month titles features books exploring the impressive achievements of women in science, the arts, sports, government, and more, and we’re highlighting a few of our favorites for you here.

Unboxing videos are all the rage. This perky pair made their YouTube debut unboxing their most recent Junior Library Guild monthly subscription box, and the results are adorably, amusingly brimming with anticipation.

We’re absolutely thrilled that fifty-two of this year’s American Library Association Youth Media Awards and honors went to JLG selections. We’re so proud of our amazing authors and illustrators, as well as our talented editorial team and their history of picking winners. We wanted to take this opportunity to highlight the winners of this year’s Newbery and Caldecott Medals, and the recipient of the Coretta Scott King Author Award. You can add all of this year’s winners to your collection here.

For many of us, the new year is a time for new beginnings. A chance to hit reset and open our minds to new opportunities and possibilities. With that in mind, we wanted to put the spotlight on three popular, previously selected titles that follow the adventures of protagonists who are stepping into a new world or undergoing major changes in their lives and starting a new chapter.
