Check out The Froggy Library, a new full-color graphic novel written and illustrated by Julie Fiveash. “Anura is a young frog spending the summer back home with their grandmother. With some…er…gentle prodding from Grandma, they get a job working at the local library. It’s about 11 minutes in when they’re tasked with a big project: Create an archive that captures what makes Soggy Stump so special. What the heck even is an archive?! And so begins a summer full of fry bread, weaving, zines, community gardens, manga, and (maybe) an answer to the question of: How do we preserve the knowledge, wisdom, and memories of the ones we love?” This semi-autobiographical story is a celebration of indigenous communities, gender fluidity, and of course libraries.
