Let us know if you'd like to see more Book Feature Fridays in the future. #burbankreads

New Books! We love it when we get new books in. We look them over for cataloging issues, but also to see which ones might be good for story time or something special on a certain topic. As always, you can find these in the catalog by clicking on New Materials and searching Children's books. Catalog: http://ow.ly/pqEd50C5q4F

Elementary Zoom Book Clubs: These are our picks for November books! All titles can be checked out via curbside or read on hoopla! You can sign up starting Nov 9th to get the Zoom link on our website calendar.

BOOK FEATURE FRIDAY: Every Friday in October we're sharing books that promote racial equity and social justice. Today, we have titles about activism for young children and picture books featuring Black protagonists (the second Jabari title!)! These will be available in our catalog soon.

We came across this beautiful video featuring children's author Yuyi Morales and her heartwarming story featuring an amazing librarian! We thought we'd share it as it's a touching story and makes you realize what positive impact you can have on others' lives. We have Yuyi's books if you want to check any of them out too! http://ow.ly/Bo9450BZ3qP
