Author info!

Mychal Threets is a librarian, literary ambassador, and the library’s number one fan (according to himself, admittedly). He was raised in his local library as a home-school kid and grew up in Fairfield, CA, right between Sacramento and San Francisco. Online, he shares videos of affirmations to assure people that their mental health always matters, and he encourages everyone to know they belong at the library. A former PBS kid himself, Mychal is proud to serve as PBS resident librarian. I'm So Happy You're Here (coming 2/3/26) is his first book. His cats, Machine Gun Kitty and Kissin' Kat Barlow, did not help at all, but he still appreciates them.
