Katie Bernet On Her Twisty Reimagining Of Little Women

Using Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women as a springboard, Katie Bernet’s dark and twisty Beth Is Dead transports the complicated lives of the beloved March sisters to modern times, where Jo, Amy, and Meg are reeling after the shocking death of their beloved Beth. When Jo suspects her sister was a victim of homicide, she dives into solving the murder. As Jo uncovers more clues, her investigation forces the sisters to reckon with secrets they’ve been withholding from each other that not only brand each one a likely suspect but could also destroy the family. Jumping adroitly from the days leading up to Beth’s murder to its devastating aftermath, Beth Is Dead honors the complexities of Alcott’s characters while exploring how they would thrive— and struggle—in modern times. Bernet spoke with us about her love of mysteries, the dark side of Alcott’s famous characters, and letting Beth have a voice in the novel.
The post Katie Bernet On Her Twisty Reimagining Of Little Women first appeared on Public Libraries Online.

From Selection to Storytime: Strengthening Your World Language Collection

Libraries are a welcoming place for everyone. At the heart of that mission is a thoughtfully developed collection that is accessible, relevant, and engaging for both new visitors and lifelong patrons. Children’s collection specialists will undoubtedly purchase replacement copies of beloved series like Dog Man and Diary of a Wimpy Kid for years to come. Yet even smaller, less frequent acquisitions can have an outsized impact. Investing in a robust World Language collection sends a clear message of inclusion to bilingual families, affirms multilingual identities, and supports English language learners as well as students studying a second language. Building a non-English language collection requires intentional planning. These materials often cost three to four times more than their English-language counterparts, making careful strategic planning essential. Begin by identifying the languages most widely spoken in your community, then evaluate availability and pricing of materials. Consider, too, how patrons will engage with the…
