|  Binged That? Read This.
By LJ and SLJ editors
In this week's installment of Your Home Librarian, we acknowledge that many of us book lovers—our own editors and staff included—have been indulging in more than a little binge-watching over the past few weeks. No judgment here! Sometimes small screen escapism is exactly what we need to get by in these trying times. Here's what to read after bingeing every episode of Friends, The Sopranos, or The Office.
Adults looking to keep kids and teens occupied indoors may want to check out a new podcast that brings authors and aspiring writers together. And these four guides are just the thing to help teen authors develop their skills. In addition to must-read new books publishing this week, we also feature a list of novels starring protagonists who are on the autism spectrum. For teens—or anyone—experiencing depression or anxiety, author I.W. Gregorio talks about her new YA book, This Is My Brain In Love, and offers some advice on talking about your feelings, especially the sad ones. Today is Earth Day! Even if you're stuck indoors, there are great ways you can celebrate our planet and learn more about sustainability and green living. Have you always dreamed about becoming a librarian? We lay out the facts you need to know before embarking on a library gradudate school program. Finally, check out this moving sketch by SLJ's creative director, Mark Tuchman, inspired by the creative and innovative ways libraries are continuing to deliver programs, services, and human connection to their communities—safely and at a distance. |
