West Valley: Authors Out Loud: Amanda Jones In-Person / Online
Yakima Valley Libraries announces an interesting lineup of authors for our special Authors Out Loud series. The series highlights four talented authors and a literary group from our local community and from across the country. Featured book categories/genres include ecological history, graphic novel, manifesto/memoir, and poetry. Each interactive session will highlight an author talk with a following question and answer session. Join us this September through October for interesting and interactive gatherings.
Amanda Jones has been an educator for 23 years. She has served as President of the Louisiana Association of School Librarians and won numerous awards for her work in school libraries, including School Library Journal Librarian of the Year. A sought-after keynote speaker, Jones is a frequent volunteer for state and national library associations, as well as a co-founder of the Livingston Parish Library Alliance and founding member of Louisiana Citizens Against Censorship. She lives in Livingston Parish, Louisiana.
Jones will join us during Banned Books Week to discuss her book That Librarian: the Fight Against Book Banning in America. Part memoir, part manifesto, it is the inspiring story of a Louisiana librarian advocating for inclusivity.
