Library Creates eReading Rooms
To give patrons the feeling of entering a library room to pick out their next ebook or audiobook, the Pierce County Library System created eReading rooms with librarian selections. And the digital rooms are also made with specific age ranges in mind, making them safe spaces for kids to browse.
What A Lineup!
BookCon 2020 is virtual and if you’re a fan of superheroes here’s an excellent panel to watch tomorrow, May 30, 2020, 11:00 AM – 11:40 AM: The New Age Of Heroes. It’ll be moderated by Gabby Rivera (Juliet Takes a Breath), with panelists Zoraida Córdova (Labyrinth Lost), Preeti Chhibber (Spider-Man: Far From Home: Peter and Ned’s Ultimate Travel Journal), Nic Stone (Dear Martin), and Nicky Drayden (The Prey of Gods). It’s going to be so good–seriously, if you haven’t read their books get on that!
