Passion. Vision. Mission. These are just a few of the words that characterize the 50 individuals-and one organization-named 2015 Movers & Shakers. They are passionate about what they do, whether it is advocating for literacy and diversity, serving the underserved, spreading and sharing technology, and much more. They see the future and bring it to life. And they are committed to the mission of the library as an engine of democracy. For the first time since the Movers & Shakers began in 2002, we've included an organization, We Need Diverse Books-see "Hashtag Heard 'Round the World," p. 26-in recognition of the challenge thrown down by a handful of children's and YA authors and taken up by authors, publishers, librarians, and thousands of others to bring diversity to children's publishing. The movement's efforts are already breeding change.
