The ShibShow | Ep. 2 - Librarian, Erika Long

Episode 2 of The ShibShow is all about libraries and books! This past week was National Library Week and we were so excited to be the 2020 American Library Association #NationalLibraryWeek Honorary Chairs!

To celebrate, we talked to Erika Long (@notyomamaslibrarian on Instagram), a librarian from Nashville, TN about the importance of libraries and being a librarian. Even though libraries are closed right now, make sure to check out your library’s WEBSITE and explore all of the FREE media, activities, and technology they have to offer.

We also announced the new publication date for our first book, Kudo Kids: The Mystery of the Masked Medalist – September 8th, 2020! We’ve been working so hard on this book, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Last thing! We joined Jennifer Garner and Amy Adams and recorded a video of ourselves reading a children's book. We read "Dream Animals: A Bedtime Journey" by Emily Winflield Martin. Make sure to check out @savewithstories on Instagram for our video and many more! 30 million children rely on school for food, so @savethechildren and @nokidhungry have started a new fund #SAVEWITHSTORIES to respond to the needs of kids during these school closures. They are supporting food banks, mobile meal trucks, and community feeding programs with funds to do what they do best—and also—with educational toys, books, and worksheets to make sure brains are full, as well as bellies.

We hope you enjoy this episode of The #ShibShow!
Maia and Alex
