Have you set your @goodreads goal? Are you working on your #tbr pile? Got any other reading resolutions for 2023? Personally, I am trying this new thing where I call myself out publicly on social media in order to hold myself accountable...😳

We're a day too late to do the "It's gonna be May" meme, so you get this instead. Sorry not sorry.

Anyway, check the link in our bio because our summer reading info is available! We're gonna add more details about the programs soon, but all of the dates are up and so is the info about the reading challenge! GET READY! 📚

What my desk looks like the day after summer teen volunteer applications are due 🫠

In all seriousness, we got some fantastic applications this time around and I can’t wait to email all of you that got spots! 🥳 Expect to hear from us by the end of the week at the latest!

When making this reading list, I realized there are not nearly as many YA fiction books featuring autistic protagonists as there should be. Which is unfortunately the case in a lot of minority representation situations. Anyway, please take a look at some we *do* have available at the Smith Public Library, and remember to always speak out about wanting to see more neurodivergent characters in your books!

Note: the protagonists featured in the books on slides 4 and 5 are not explicitly stated on the page as being autistic, but have been confirmed to be so by the authors.

Happy Friday! Our spring order is starting to arrive and I’ve been peeping into the cataloging storage area to see what we’ve got and grabbed a sneak peek for y’all 😎 Look at what we have coming soon!

Happy Monday! We've got a new volunteer-submitted Spotify playlist to get your week started off right. Faith submitted this playlist for @byleahjohnson's You Should See Me In a Crown, and said that she specifically picked songs that "radiate confidence and power." Well, we freakin' love that, Faith. Use the link in our bio to go give the playlist a listen, and kick this week's butt!

We’ve got a brand new teen volunteer-submitted Spotify playlist to get you going this week! Abi submitted this fantastic, nearly two hours long, playlist inspired by @rainbowrowell’s Eleanor & Park. It’s got everything from Simon and Garfunkel throwbacks to Harry Styles to early 2000’s Plain White T’s. Check the link in our bio to give it a listen!

We've got another artist spotlight for a creator that will be presenting at our D&D Mini Con on March 8th! Jamie, of @colorspraycreations , will be walking us through her process as well as bringing some gorgeous dice examples and potential raffle prizes with her 😮 ALSO, she has a new dice drop happening in her store TOMORROW, February 25th, at noon! We have one set of dice created by her and oh my glob, they were named after Adventure Time's Lumpy Space Princess and they are VERY purple and VERY pretty. We can't wait for her presentation!

We can't fault Yentl for having one novel and four graphic novels as her Top 5 of 2022. They're all so good! Do almost all of them have food involved in some way? Maybe. Does Yentl have the cutest, most food-centric Instagram account in the whole library? Definitely. 🍣🍜☕
