- May 1, 2017
It’s been several years since I went to a convention as big as C2E2, and I have to admit: I was a bit nervous. Massive crowds are not my favorite thing, and I remember walking and walking and being in lines and walking more from the anime conventions I attended in high school. (I bet

Windows and Mirrors: Youth Media Awards and Diversity in Library Collections0
- March 10, 2016
I have a confession to make as a youth services librarian: I generally don’t put a lot of stock in ALA’s Youth Media Awards.
