Building a Shared Vision of Inclusive Future in a Smalltown Library By Zachary Stier and Jane Rongerude Two years ago, Iowa legislators passed—and Gov. Kim Reynolds signed into law—House File 802, also known as the “diverse concepts law,” and Iowa became the next state to try and limit the teaching of concepts and histories that reflect the full fabric of the American experience. Such laws create particular challenges for public libraries even when they are not explicitly targeted. As the children’s librarian at Ericson Public Library in Boone, I recognized the impact this law could have on our work. |

WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA |
Valiant Women: The Untold Story of the American Servicewomen Who Helped Win World War II, by Lena S. Andrews, is a starred social sciences title. "Readers interested in women’s and military history, especially World War II events and experiences, will value this book." Paul Murray's The Bee Sting is a starred fiction selection. "This is a big, multilayered book full of secrets and surprises. But not a word is wasted in this unsettling, character-rich, devilishly plotted page-turner." In mysteries, Carlene O'Connor's Some of Us Are Looking, the second book in her "County Kerry" series, is a starred selection. "There’s a surprising conclusion in this sequel to No Strangers Here. Sarah Stewart Taylor’s fans will appreciate O’Connor’s dark, atmospheric Irish mystery." And in romance, Dylan Newton's Change of Plans is a starred title. "Newton (All Fired Up) tackles the subject of amputation with care, yet still manages to infuse the plot with humor via the high jinks of Bryce’s nieces. It’s mild in the heat department but big on tenderness, and readers looking for depth and substance in their romance will find much to delight in here." See All Reviews››› |
