We regularly post on social media information about the wonderful libraries that carry the book in a series called "Venusian Library Buzz".

Fun fact:

Mrs. Peanut Butter, The Not-Librarian

Author Stephanie Nina Pitsirilos served as a volunteer librarian-fill-in for a NYC public elementary school for almost ten years, ending in 2025. In her role she was affectionately known as "Mrs. Peanut Butter", leading a core team of parents determined to keep the library open (a tradition in the school that started when the staff librarian position was cut years before her). In her role she read books to classes, organized book clubs, ran fundraising book fairs (using a local NY vendor), collaborated with school administration and teachers for a fun, supportive learning experience, implemented a library renovation with local politician funding, advocated for the establishment of a funded position of a professional librarian for the school, and curated the bookshelves and new orders for a diverse, locally rooted and also out-of-this-world reading experience. When classes weren't in session, you'd find her on the floor of the library reading a stack of books that happened to spill down, like a smiling, solitary Henry Bemis.
