Join Stevenson Elementary School Librarian Jennifer Ching and author/illustrator Ellie Peterson for all things about AUTHOR VISITS! If you have a debut and are interested in offering author visits, just want to make your presentations more dynamic and fun, or want to better understand the connection between school libraries and authors, then this is a great session for you. We’ll start with a tour by Jennifer of today’s elementary school library. Learn how books are organized by reader and genre, what draws kids to the library, what resources are available to them, and the strategies librarians use to encourage lifelong readers. Then, veteran teacher and author/illustrator Ellie Peterson will share with you the elements of a good author visit, nuts and bolts of booking and invoicing, and how to best work with librarians and teachers. We’ll finish up with time for Q&A. Bring your notebook, we’ll have a lot of good information for you!
