ALSC President Kirby McCurtis writes: “Amid the ongoing pandemic (and everything else happening in the world), libraries can help us cope and eventually recover. Living in today’s world—a global pandemic, a volatile political landscape, and a heated public debate over issues like race, immigration, healthcare, and climate change—is challenging enough for adults. But think about how it must be for children who are exposed to both their parents’ problems and their own struggles: the impact of a parent’s divorce, an argument with a friend, the menace of a bully, or difficulty dealing with schoolwork, especially in a digital classroom.”
