After getting up at 4 am to catch a train, it feels good to take a breath with my name tag around my neck! The convention hall is already bustling and I have 5 badges already attached and been lovingly attacked by members of the 2025 Newbery Crew and chatting with librarians from all over.
When you work alone or with a small crew it’s hard to imagine alllll of the flavors and stripes of librarians- and i am taking this moment now just to take it all in. More later…
Kelly Depin is a member of the 2025 Newbery committee and is looking forward to giving you a look at some of the invited events attached to the award winning authors. She has been a librarian for over 20 years and looks forward to being found someday as part of some unique children’s or adult programming.
