    Primarily intended for families and children between the ages of 9-12, and for librarians and educators, this dynamic 18-segment series is part of Medina’s “Cuéntame!: Let’s Talk Books!” platform, which encourages children and their families to engage in fun and lively conversations about books. Medina believes that "booktalk" helps people to naturally share values, hobbies, and personal stories. For Medina, this effortless sharing of books and stories is what inspires children to read, write and create.

    In each “Let’s Talk Books!” video filmed in unique spaces at the Library, guest authors will booktalk a book of their choice, discuss their upbringing and path to a writing career, and offer advice for young learners. 

    Videos will not exceed 8 minutes and two videos will drop each month on the Library’s YouTube channel from May through December.
