These are the last in a three-part series that explores the creation and history of LGBTQIA+ children's literature as well as the presence of these books in libraries. More information on the podcasts<https://reachoutandread.libsyn.com/> below: Episode 1 - Inner Truths: Crafting LGBTQ+ Children's Books LGBTQ+ children's books play a crucial role in offering 'mirrors and windows' for all children and their caregivers, yet they remain not only hard to find, but often challenged by society. In Part 1 of our two-part series, we'll explore the craft and creativity behind LGBTQ+ children's literature with Lesléa Newman, author of 75 books including the well-known "Heather Has Two Mommies", and Kyle Lukoff, author of "Call Me Max" and "When Aidan Became A Brother." Episode 2 - Inner Truths, Part 2: The Research Behind LGBTQ+ Children's Books In Part 2 of our series on LGBTQ+ children's books, we talk to Dr. Jamie Campbell Naidoo, a professor at the University of Alabama's School of Library and Information Studies. We discuss how to evaluate LGBTQ+ books for kids, common portrayals of 'rainbow families' in children's books, balancing accessibility and privacy issues for books around these topics, and, of course why, year after year, LGBTQ+ children's books continue to be the most challenged genre. Episode 3 - William's Doll and the Legacy of Charlotte Zolotow (Bonus Episode) The publication of Charlotte Zolotow's picture book William's Doll (1972) not only broke gender stereotypes, but became a landmark moment in American children's literature. In a bonus episode of our "Inner Truths: LGBTQ" series, host Dr. Perri Klass speaks with Charlotte's daughter, Crescent Dragonwagon (a prolific author herself), about the making of William's Doll and her mother's cultural impact as a writer and editor of books that have encouraged tolerance, kindness, and authenticity for generations of children.

Give-aways!
by Betsy Myers 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

THAT got your attention! This will be a fun one for a select few of you. I know it was for me...just to figure out what some of this stuff was. Before they leave our building in ways librarians have a hard time with, I promised to try and find a home for these very special items. We received them from a college library but are not able to keep them due to space, collection development, what the general public wants, availability of internet access and well...just space. Some would make fantastic display pieces or props (we would keep them but we have a whole collection of Readers Guide to Periodicals we can't seem to let go). I have attached pictures of most of the covers so you can understand more about them than the general description below. Just shoot me an email and tell me what you would like, your RIDES number and a name to attach to them. I just know these will go fast. :) *Budget Message of the Governor (1974-1982)* *Economic Report of the Governor (1975-1982)* *Employment Plan of the Governor (1981-82)* *Executive Budget, State of Michigan (1976-1983)* *Governor's Special Commission on Land Use Report (1971 Appendix B, 1972)* *Michigan Compiled Laws Volumes 1-6, 1979* *Michigan Compiled Laws Volumes 1-6, 1948* *Michigan Compiled Laws Volumes 1-6, 1970* *Annual Report, Michigan Department of the Treasury (1974, 1975, 1975-78, 1978, 1978-82)* See...fun, right?! -- *Betsy Myers* Reference Department Interlibrary Loan/Programming *Traverse Area District Library* 610 Woodmere Ave Traverse City, MI 49686 231 932-8502 *Currently just read: Let Love Rule <https://catalog.tadl.org/main/details?id=48294423> by Lenny Kravitz* *Currently just listened to: Time for Mercy <https://tadl.overdrive.com/media/5428416> by John Grisham*

Returning to In-Person Programming in the Fall?
by Adrianne Schinkai 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

Good morning everyone! As things are slowly creeping back to normal, I was wondering what everyone was thinking about in-person programming returning to libraries. Our library is small and I’m debating announcing the return of in-person Book Club for Adults and in-person Yarn Arts Circle starting in September. Before the pandemic, these programs would usually range from 5-10 people, so not many as far as programs go. Is anyone else toying with this idea at the moment? I’d appreciate any shared thoughts. -- Adrianne M.
