The Sports Librarian

The Sports Librarian helps people find books they’ll love about sports, athletes, and all things recreation (Instagram). I hope to share the joy of sports and its many life lessons with book recommendations for kids and adults. In my Bookshop.org store you’ll find books organized by sport, age, gender, race, and more.

How was your weekend?? Football Friday!! Grab this moving memoir about Marion Motley and how he helped break the color barrier (again) in the NFL. 🏈 If you know me, you know I love #MountainMonday…I love stories about people climbing peaks, making first ascents, and battling the elements. Swap “going up mountains” for “going down rivers” and you have this book! Torrents As Yet Unknown, is about people making first *descents* of rivers, overcoming obstacles, and battling the elements. As Nick Hutchison (@nicklovesbooks) says, sometimes the right book comes along at the right time in your life. Holy moly did this book meet me right where I needed it last week! 👊🏼 2023 isn’t over yet, but you might be looking for holiday gifts or an early start on your year-end round ups! 📅 CURRENTLY... 📅⁠ Have you ever picked up a book and it was completely different than you thought it was going to be?? 🍂 October is definitely one of our family's busiest months! Fall quarter is in full swing, two family birthdays (we have a four year old!), garage reorganizing, church activities and preschool festivities, pumpkin patches, and more! ⁠🍂⁠ Just a little humor for your Wednesday afternoon. This video is a little old (they grow soo fast!), but DQ is as smiley as ever and KQ always tries to catch him when he falls 🥰
