CADL librarians Mari and Jessica have tons of out-of-this-world book titles that encompass our Summer Reading theme "A Universe of Stories."

Cover artwork by Larry Jones.

Jessica, Mari and Sherri talk about the titles we should all be excited about this spring! They start with a look at some of the great book-based picks coming to a screen near you, and then dive into the spring book titles they've got their eyes on.

WE’VE PARTNERED WITH THE INGHAM COUNTY JAIL TO CREATE AN INNOVATIVE EARLY LITERACY PROJECT FOR FAMILIES WHO HAVE A LOVED ONE INCARCERATED THERE. THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES THE GENERATIONAL IMPACT OF INCARCERATION ON LITERACY, SINCE THERE’S A STRONG CORRELATION BETWEEN ILLITERACY RATES AND  INCARCERATION.

NOW ALL STUDENTS IN A PARTICIPATING SCHOOL DISTRICT CAN USE THEIR STUDENT NUMBER OR STUDENT ID—INSTEAD OF A PERSONAL LIBRARY CARD— TO BORROW ITEMS FROM CADL.
