In our goal to promote diversity and increase ease of searching, we've added this character appeal and have applied it to works with characters that are neurodivergent, which means their brains and cognitive functions differ from neurotypical people in one or more ways.

It's always fun to look back and see how NoveList is constantly evolving to meet the needs of libraries and readers. So we've put together a round-up highlighting all the fresh content you can find in NoveList. 

In 2022 we introduced Actively Anti-Racist Service to Readers, the first Learn with NoveList course to offer both asynchronous and live elements. We had our first live session in January, and we wanted to share some of the highlights with you. 

Engagement Consultant Caleigh Haworth shares the five things she *loves* to show library staff during Core Collections trainings — the stuff she knows will make their jobs easier!

An advocate is a person who publicly supports or recommends a particular cause or policy. For library staff, “other duties as assigned” certainly includes advocacy for your organization. That’s especially crucial now, when more and more libraries are facing the threat of book bans and book challenges.
