I'm honoured to be the recipient of the 2024 Cache Valley Library Association Library Hero Award, presented each January to someone who has given "notable service to libraries in Cache Valley."
I love this organisation and have so much respect for its members and the good work they do in our area. Long may it continue.

pickI found a lot to love about this book. I could really relate to the family dynamic. I'm glad I read the Devil's Arithmetic first. It gave this book another level of wow. I don't live in an area where book banning is a problem. The community where the story took place seemed surreal to me, maybe too, phony. But then I need to get out more. Having an HOA is bad enough, I can't imagine a whole town putting up with this.

pickGreat and timely story about censorship based off an event in the author‘s life as a child. Should be on every middle grade classroom bookshelf including those in Florida. #MiddleGradeMarch
What a lucky kid to have a childhood like this. I always tried to make sure my kids‘ reading was full of banned books too. #MiddleGradeMarch
pickThis is the first middle grade I‘ve read from A.S. King - turns out she‘s just as good at writing for middle schoolers as she is for high schoolers. This was timely and fantastic! #MiddleGradeMarch @megnews @sblbooks
pickA. S. King delivers in this thoughtful novel about the controversy of banned books vs liberties…When students discover their assigned book copies (Yolen ‘s The Devil‘s Arithmetic) have been censored 🤬 with black markers, the protest commences; to the dismay of the school board!
