TLA 2020 VIRTUAL SUMMER OF LEARNING: Welcome to the Holiday House & Pixel+Ink Booth!
Hello, Texas Librarians!
We are so excited to have you join us at the Holiday House & Pixel+Ink booth at this year’s TLA Virtual Summer of Learning.
To continue our education and development, we are so pleased to be with you during TLA Virtual’s Summer of Learning! We can’t wait to share with you some of the books, author interviews, and downloadable resources that we have prepared for you.
Whether you are looking for upcoming titles to add to your libraries, searching for supplemental resources or thematic title groupings, or excited to watch behind-the-scenes videos from our authors or illustrators, you have come to the right place!
Come on in and look around! You’re always home with Holiday House.
Holiday House & Pixel+Ink Book Buzz—Summer & Fall 2020!
We don’t usually have an opportunity to share many of our late Summer and Fall books with you at the TLA Spring Conference, but we made sure to put something together to share these exceptional books virtually this year!
Holiday House & Pixel+Ink Book Buzz—TLA Edition!
These selections were some of the wonderful books we had planned to share with you at this year’s conference in March, but we are pleased to share them here!
Interested in Thematic Book Lists?
*Includes New and Backlist Titles
We have close to 300 guides, lesson plans, and activity sheets for you to share virtually with your colleagues, parents, children, and other library patrons to help supplement the resources you already have.
