    Dear Colleagues,

    In the transformative spirit of the groundbreaking Interracial Books for Children Bulletin, and in honor of Augusta Baker, Charlemae Rollins, and the library ancestors who fought for inclusivity and representation in children's literature, Dr. Nicole A. Cooke (The Augusta Baker Endowed Chair in Childhood Literacy at the University of South Carolina) announces a new online publication, The Reservoir: A Chronicle for Collective Change. 


    Beginning in 2022, The Reservoir will publish critical reviews of youth books that prominently feature characters and people from historically marginalized communities, critical annotated bibliographies, and biographies of BIPoC who engage in this important work. Initially, publication will be biannual (May and November). Please see the linked CFPs for more information!
