Hi Everyone! Our most recent issue of the State of the Thing newsletter is on its way to more than one million Thingamabrarians!

We have an abbreviated issue for you this month, owing to staff vacations and illness. That said, we're happy to announce our attendance at the upcoming American Library Association conference in Chicago, premier new series images, host our annual Pride Month celebration—including Treasure Hunt and Store Sale—invite members to contribute to our List of the Month, present our interview with author Cynthia Pelayo, and offer 3,098 free books through Early Reviewers! Our Book World News coverage will return next month.

Feel free to launch a discussion here of anything in this month's issue, or to offer feedback on SOTT in general, or on specific sections, columns, or news items.

See our SOTT Archive for past issues.
