One of our most anticipated picture books of this year is Dear Librarian by Lydia M. Sigwarth; illustrated by Romina Galotta. Inspired by a This American Life episode about the power of libraries, this is the ultimate love-letter to librarians everywhere. 

We’re celebrating Lydia’s story and librarians everywhere this week by kicking off a monthlong contest where YOU can nominate your favorite librarian for a chance to win one of three $1,000 AmEx gift cards, plus a collection of books. Nominate here!
