Weekend Links- A Recap of An Already Kidlit-Filled October
I love the months of autumn! The changing of the leaves and the cooling of the weather is like welcoming an old familiar friend. From a literary standpoint there is so much going on in October as well. This Weekend Links I’d like to take a quick look at all of the “book-ish” moments of an already busy month.
Banned Books Week finished up 10/3. Did you see my Banned Books Booklist that features some of the most banned YA books in the US?
Columbus Day is October 12 and I really love this blog post from Multicultural Children’s Book Day Silver Sponsor, Lee and Low- Rethinking Columbus Day
Did you Celebrate #NationalPoetryDay on 10/8? Here are some great mentions of this lesser known literary holiday.

Join the movement! The End of Bullying Begins with Me: that’s the message during PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Month in October. It’s a time when communities can unite nationwide to raise awareness of bullying prevention through events, activities, outreach, and education. Resources from PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center make it easy to take action. Check out my Ban Bullying Booklists for all grades and ages.
