Vibrant Voices: A Booklist Celebrating Stories of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color is selected by New York Public Library staff to help students, parents, and educators discover a world of new perspectives and narratives through literature.

Cue the applause! SLJ is teaming up with award-winning author and historian Steve Sheinkin and school librarian Stacey Rattner to stream their fun, fact-filled game show. First up: Andrea Davis Pinkney vs. a group of middle schoolers on She Persisted: Harriet Tubman, by Pinkney and Chelsea Clinton.

Those dreaded summer reading lists. For eons, teachers have been handing out assigned reading, mostly comprised of old “classics.” With this survey, SLJ and NCTE invite teachers and librarians to choose the titles you’d like culled from required reading and those books you would urge students to read instead.
