+## New Boards Supported by CircuitPython
+
+The number of supported microcontrollers and Single Board Computers (SBC) grows every week. This section outlines which boards have been included in CircuitPython or added to [CircuitPython.org](https://circuitpython.org/).
+
+This week there were (#/no) new boards added:
+
+- [Board name](url)
+- [Board name](url)
+- [Board name](url)
+
+*Note: For non-Adafruit boards, please use the support forums of the board manufacturer for assistance, as Adafruit does not have the hardware to assist in troubleshooting.*
+
+Looking to add a new board to CircuitPython? It's highly encouraged! Adafruit has four guides to help you do so:

+## CircuitPython Libraries
+
+[![CircuitPython Libraries](../assets/20250623/blinka.png)](https://circuitpython.org/libraries)
+
+The CircuitPython library numbers are continually increasing, while existing ones continue to be updated. Here we provide library numbers and updates!
+
+To get the latest Adafruit libraries, download the [Adafruit CircuitPython Library Bundle](https://circuitpython.org/libraries). To get the latest community contributed libraries, download the [CircuitPython Community Bundle](https://circuitpython.org/libraries).
+
+If you'd like to contribute to the CircuitPython project on the Python side of things, the libraries are a great place to start. Check out the [CircuitPython.org Contributing page](https://circuitpython.org/contributing). If you're interested in reviewing, check out Open Pull Requests. If you'd like to contribute code or documentation, check out Open Issues. We have a guide on [contributing to CircuitPython with Git and GitHub](https://learn.adafruit.com/contribute-to-circuitpython-with-git-and-github), and you can find us in the #help-with-circuitpython and #circuitpython-dev channels on the [Adafruit Discord](https://adafru.it/discord).
+
+You can check out this [list of all the Adafruit CircuitPython libraries and drivers available](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle/blob/master/circuitpython_library_list.md).
