Has your library banned Banned Books Week events/displays this year? I want to hear about it. I had thought I'd get 2-3 responses but, y'all, we're at over 20 at this point. All anonymous. It will be used for a story in the near future. Survey closes 10/17. docs.google.com/forms/d/1n65...

Our upcoming Issue 60 marks the end of an era: Salamander is parting ways with Suffolk University after two decades. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we take a hiatus from reading new submissions during the 2025-2026 reading period, and stay connected with us for updates. 🦎❤️

Love it when poems reference #kidlit such as this one by Emily Dressler in @okaydonkeymag.com okaydonkeymag.com/2025/09/12/p...

"placing unfinished or untested writing in front of the eyes of other experienced and respected writers actually takes courage...takes trust to believe, never mind accept, another writer’s critique of one’s own work. We’re all such guardians of our words." -Beverly Gologorsky shorturl.at/0Oe0Z

I've got an ask, but please only respond if you can answer it as I'm asking. I'd love to look at *zines* that target *teen readers*. They can be written by teens or adults, and I need to either access them online or find 'em via libraries. Any topic is cool. But ZINES for TEENS is the ask.

“…the reason that kind of banal movies are made is because they’re trying to speak to a huge number of people. And so if you get real specific with the kind of person that you want to focus on …more-idiosyncratic stories with more-idiosyncratic types of characters…” Fabulous!

Thank you, Harpur Palate, for including this story in your Winter issue harpurpalate.binghamton.edu/booydegraaff...
