TLA - Texas Library Association (Austin, TX)

April 18, 2023

Hey Austin, TX! I’m so excited to be a part of TLA this year especially as a featured guest for The Spirit of Texas (SPOT) Reading Program! SPOT helps encourage a greater understanding of what it means to be a Texan, and to develop an appreciation for the literary works of and about Texas and Texans.

And it’s a great recommended reading list developed by public and school librarians from the Young Adult Round Table (YART). The purpose of the list is to encourage youths in grades 6-12 to explore a variety of current, quality books from Texas authors and illustrators, develop critical reading skills, and to encourage greater interaction between Texas authors and illustrators, Texas librarians, and Texas youth.
