After nearly two decades, the beloved educational children’s series is making a comeback with a fresh face at the helm: Mychal Threets, better known as Mychal the Librarian on #TikTok. The original show ran from the 1980s to the early 2000s and was hosted by #LeVarBurton. The new series, launching on the KidZuko YouTube channel in October, promises to inspire a new generation of readers with “new friends, new projects, and of course… new books!”

Threets, a former librarian and social media advocate for literacy, has garnered a following for his engaging content that encourages reading and self-confidence. He has also served as PBS’s resident librarian for over a year. The reboot will feature celebrity guests like #GabrielleUnion, #JohnLegend, #ChrissyTeigen, and others, aiming to make reading fun and accessible for children.
