Today, we’re proud to be behind the scenes of one of the most meaningful moments in youth literature. 📚🏅

Audacity had the honor of preparing presenters for the American Library Association’s Youth Media Awards (YMAs)—a nationally recognized set of awards that include the Newbery, Caldecott, Printz, and Coretta Scott King Book Awards. Each year, the YMAs celebrate outstanding books and media for children and teens, guiding parents, educators, and librarians in selecting the very best materials for young readers.

These announcements happen live, in front of a national audience, and carry deep meaning for authors, illustrators, and communities across the country. That’s why public speaking preparation matters—especially in high-stakes moments where clarity, presence, and respect are essential.

From managing nerves to mastering delivery, pronunciation, and composure under pressure, we were proud to support presenters in showing up prepared, confident, and ready to honor the work behind these awards.

Wishing all YMA presenters the very best today—you’ve got this!

In today’s environment, libraries face evolving challenges that demand confident, compassionate, and strategic leadership. Audacity is proud to partner with Library Journal to host a half-day virtual training course next Tuesday, November 11 that will equip library leaders with the tools to navigate high-pressure moments with clarity and credibility.

As part of the Crisis Communications Do’s and Don’ts session, participants will learn how to communicate effectively before, during, and after a crisis, ensuring transparency, trust, and calm across all stakeholder groups. We’ll explore strategies for supporting staff through stressful situations, maintaining public confidence, and engaging responsibly with media and community partners. Through real-world examples and actionable best practices, leaders will leave prepared to respond thoughtfully, protect organizational reputation, and strengthen community trust when it matters most.

Audacity was honored to help share each honoree’s story of courage and resilience—stories that continue to inspire change and uplift communities.

As we mark Banned Books Week, Audacity is proud to stand with clients leading the charge for intellectual freedom.

Across the country, libraries and schools are facing an alarming rise in censorship and book bans. At Audacity, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside organizations that are courageously defending the freedom to read and expanding equitable access to information.

Our partnerships—past and present—reflect that mission in action:

📚 With the American Library Association, helping drive national awareness of escalating censorship in libraries nationwide.
📚 With the Obama Foundation and President Obama, amplifying efforts to counter book bans and uplift libraries and library workers.
📚 With Library Journal, providing crisis training to library professionals navigating unprecedented challenges.
📚 With the American Writers Museum, supporting a forthcoming exhibit exploring how freedom of expression and freedom of religion have shaped America’s literary and cultural identity.
📚 With banned authors such as Mikki Kendall, working to educate audiences about the real content of challenged books—and how these stories can powerfully reflect lived experiences and provide comfort, validation, and visibility for readers who see themselves in them.
📚 And with statewide allies and advocates, helping advance meaningful legislation—including the first-of-its-kind anti-book ban law in Illinois—to protect access to diverse stories and ideas.

Together, these efforts fuel a growing movement—because when stories are silenced, democracy falters, but when they’re heard, it thrives.

At Audacity, we’re proud to be a multilingual communications firm offering full-spectrum media training in both English 𝘢𝘯𝘥 Spanish. What sets us apart is that we don’t just support bilingual messaging—we empower spokespeople to communicate fluently, confidently, and culturally in both languages.

Why invest in Spanish-language media training?

» A Spanish-speaking spokesperson dramatically expands your reach into communities that speak Spanish (nearly 13% of U.S. residents speak Spanish at home).

» Authentic and effective communication strengthens trust, credibility, and engagement with Spanish-speaking audiences.

» In today’s media landscape, bilingual representation helps ensure your narrative is heard—not filtered or lost in translation.

Audacity is proud to uphold representation in the press and beyond by making this service available—because inclusive communication isn’t an option, it’s essential.
