In 2016, President Barack Obama appointed Dr. Carla Hayden to be the 14th Librarian of Congress. The Librarian of Congress serves a 10 year term. In 2026, the next President of the United States will name the 15th Librarian of Congress. Not that you really needed another reason to vote.

Thanks to all the creators who shared their Illustrated Notes on Bluesky via the hashtag #scbwiNotes! Here's just a small selection... From ...

Thank you! I love the work of Alice Neel! I used markers and a white Posca for the outlines. I loved drawing her hands, she used her hands a lot when she was speaking, and she had gorgeous bright yellow nail polish on.

Great portrait of him!

I loved listening to Sharee Miller talk about making graphic novels. I feel like I got a good understanding of just how much work goes into making them now! This is my quick watercolor portrait I did of her while I took notes. #scbwinotes#scbwiSummer24#kidlitcommunity

Wow! What an inspiring keynote from Felicita Sala. I absolutely love her illustrations, & philosophy on creating books for children. I feel inspired to go experiment more with texture. I love knowing that traditional illustrations are still valued in our digital world. #scbwiSummer24#scbwinotes
