Back from Spring Break and SO excited for Spring weather 🌸 There’s nothing better than sitting outside with a great book… or 15 of them!

Can’t wait to get started on this week’s fabulous #libraryhaul. Shoutout to Caroline Kusin Pritchard and Jonathan Roth rounding out this #kidlit book stack!

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Read Maris's piece, then go show your local indie bookstore some love. They're so much more than places to get books--they are places to engage with ideas and others in your community. Staffed by actual humans to help you find the books you didn't know you needed!
