To quote Mo Willem’s Elephant and Piggie, “We’re in a Book!”
Cen Campbell (LittleeLit) and I have been busy this winter. Sandwiched in between our day jobs, parenting, and what-not, we’ve been writing a book- Becoming a Media Mentor: A Guide for Working With Families! Cen and I created the cookbook of sorts on how to be a media mentor with the intention of continuing the conversation moved forward by the 2015 ALSC white paper, Media Mentorship in Libraries Serving Youth, which we coauthored with our friends Amy Koester and Dorothy Stoltz. With 12 excellent examples of ‘media mentors in action,’ current research, and incites from experts inside libraryland and beyond, we’re hoping the book will help make it easier for children’s librarians and advocates to become, and see themselves as, media mentors.
The book is working its way through the publication process and should be ready for delivery in late August, although it is available in the ALA Editions Spring Catalog now. Stay tuned!
We look forward to hearing what you think of it!

I just attended a presentation with Amy Koester and Andrew Medlar at the Illinois Youth Services Institute last week and used what I learned immediately. Very timely topic. How excellent that you all have written a book. It also explains why Amy was so well versed on the subject. Thank you.
Thanks for your message, Janet! I hope you find the book helpful in your work.
I’m so glad you got to hear from Amy- she is a wealth of information and an all around amazing person.
