LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- February 5 is World Read Aloud Day, an annual day of advocacy to promote the benefits of reading aloud in terms of community and literacy. In her educational series of Virtuepops books, author Frances Angelina combines nonfiction and fiction in what she describes as "intriguing" books that unveil the "marvelous mysteries of being mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually happy". An IndieReader review describes the first book in the series as "a fun-filled, illustrated read-aloud that focuses on promoting virtuous living in fun creative ways". Included in each book is storytelling, poetry, song, games and simple illustrations to color in. A Readers' Favorite review of the first book explains that "it is a read-aloud book to share, discuss, and learn from together. This educational book targets the importance of educating and entertaining children to practice virtuous living in fun creative ways." 

LibraryBub is an industry first. Established in 2015, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. It is dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Prolific children's author Lola Schaefer recalls the importance of the library during her childhood. "For as long as I can remember, I have loved books. My mother took me to the Tecumseh Branch Library every week where I would check out a tall stack of stories. And when the bookmobile stopped near our home, the librarian on board would always show me a few titles she had hand-selected for me." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.
