Our friends at Newsbank are doing their part to commemorate Women’s History month. Over the course of this month, we’ll be sharing information to spotlight just a few of the many notable women in literature.
For the month itself, take a look at a list of 25 children’s books written to inspire future generations: https://bit.ly/3hFJDXz
March 10 is Ina Coolbrith’s Birthday
Born that day in 1841, Ina Coolbrith was a writer, librarian, and the first Poet Laureate in California’s history. That made her the first poet laureate of any U.S. state! Learn more about her life and legacy at: https://bit.ly/3tuMoR9
“Were I to write what I know, the book would be too sensational to print, but were I to write what I think proper, it would be too dull to read.”
~Ina Coolbrith
