The Cardigan Newsletter is a monthly e-newsletter for children’s librarians, written by Allie Barton and Katherine Hickey, two youth services librarians from Oklahoma.  Each issue has sections titled:  Learn, Play, Plan, Consider, Connect, Read, Reflect, and Ask.  There is something for everyone here–programs that are simple to recreate at your own library, thoughtful reflection about important topics, great book suggestions, links to resources (like books and webinars) and ideas to make the library welcoming for everyone.  I highly recommend it!

You can sign up for the newsletter, which is delivered directly to your inbox, right here.

You can find back issues right here.
