Sports Roundup and Lerner Sports Database

By Tom Czech

It’s February 5th, which means the Super Bowl is just a few days away and it’s a perfect time to bring you our Sports Roundup and Lerner™ Sports Database update!

This year’s Super Bowl is especially intriguing as Tom Brady, widely considered the “G.O.A.T” or “greatest of all time,” squares off against up-and-coming superstar Patrick Mahomes, last year’s MVP who will look to add another championship to his resumé. Can the young prodigy overcome the storied legend?

Books on the best athletes, biggest games, and most intense competitions headline this year’s diverse collection of series and titles. Keep scrolling to find the most in-depth biographies and stories about all the greatest superstars!

Librarian Prep Post for March

By Tom Czech

The new year may have arrived, but things are still far from normal. Some libraries are open, most aren’t. Even so, basic practices are probably difficult to manage with the precautions required to overcome the pandemic.

One of those things may be book displays. Usually a great tool to drive students in all kinds of different literary directions, book displays are much harder to execute in an online atmosphere. Students can’t thumb through early pages, compare covers as easily, or share their shiny new books with friends. Too much touching and germ spreading!

Here at Lerner, we understand those concerns and how stressful it can be to try to enhance a student’s library experience within the online constraints of today’s world. Below is our reader’s advisory and collection of booklists for March, complete with quick descriptions of how our titles can work in your library and how you might be able to get those kids invested in reading again (along with some additional resources)!

We hope that this can get you thinking about how to innovate within your library. Things may be strange now, but we’re working to help you find a solution!
