Today we sit down with Jen, who is the National Chair of the Youth Libraries Group to chat all things YLG and libraries.

The YLG is an extremely important organisation that is run entirely by volunteers, they act as a vital bridge between publishers and libraries, run the Carnegie awards and help support communities and libraries all over the country.

Below are some links to the YLG's main pages and ways that you can get involved!

On today’s episode of Chats Under the Cherry Tree, we’re hosting the final stop in the Sweet Cherry blog tour for Blue’s Planet: Australia, the incredible middle-grade novel by Lucy McRobert!

Focusing on the effects of climate change, this book introduces readers to the importance of sustainability and activism (in a page-turning and exciting way).

This episode allows you to hear from the author and better understand the thought process behind writing such a novel.

Notice the beeps throughout? We’re keeping book #2's location under wraps — for now! Why not take a guess at where Blue will end up? You could win an exclusive prize if you tag us via the below and get the location correct!
