Children’s lives are enriched with books, games & tech.
Your purchases help fund libraries for kids in need.
Hello, friends of book-loving, techie kids!
I’m Autumn, a passionate school librarian, with 14 years experience, and mom to a gaming, reading, YouTube-adoring 9 year old. Sound familiar?
I spend my days immersed in children’s lit and coding with students. My evenings are filled with Roblox, Fortnite and video editing; of course, my son wants to be a YouTuber! Can you relate?
I wholeheartedly embrace my nerdy, techie side. But… I know it’s not for everyone.
If connecting through tech and games ever feels challenging, I’m here to help! Finding it difficult to stay current with the latest kids’ books and media? I can assist with that too.
On this site, I share thoughtful book and game reviews, techie tutorials, and innovative Edu-resources that I create and curate based on my experience – all with the goal of helping today’s tech-savvy generation read, learn and grow.
When you purchase through my links, you help fund literacy access in underserved communities, and support the development of my Book Buddy AI reading quiz, aiming to connect every child with books they’ll love.
Join me in nurturing young minds! Subscribe and follow on social media for the latest in children’s books, games, and tech. Stay in the loop with my K-5 library and classroom resources too! Together, we can empower the next generation through literacy and responsible tech engagement!
Thrilled you’re here!
Kindly, Autumn (1FunLibrarian)
