I would very much like to encourage any librarians out there--particularly youth librarians--to join us on our monthly zoom call. We use part of that time to discuss books relevant to children's and youth services, but we are also trying to get support networks and relationships set up to help cope with and plan for these kinds of challenges in their communities. If you'd like to be part of that conversation on November 10th, please let me know.
