Finally! Library Week is here and I can share all the wonderful mini-interviews I have been recording since January! Enjoy it!

In this episode you will listen to songs, jokes, and stories about how libraries and the librarians who staff them inspired and supported us as children, paving the way for our careers as children’s authors and illustrators, including, though definitely not in alphabetical order as they are listed below. Sorry there aren’t more visuals, but there are just too many to find! Thanks for listening, and tune in next week when we announce all our contests for Little Chicken’s Big Day or keep an eye out on my Facebook page. Two notes – The first song is sung by Judy Freeman, and after the second song, that’s Mordicai Gerstein talking.
