Check out the cover of my latest book: This Is A Library Book: Check Out the Places and People Sharing Knowledge and Building Communities, written by Joyce Grant and illustrated by Chanelle Nibbelink. It’s published by Kids Can Press and comes out October 6, 2026.

This one-of-a-kind book takes readers on a whirlwind tour of libraries and their long history as meeting spots for community members, places of refuge in times of conflict and safe spaces that protect both people and access to information. In this time of book-banning and dangerous nonsense, libraries are more important than ever.

This Is A Library Book is available now for pre-order at your local independent bookstore or online. For links to pre-order visit my Book Page here.
