Interested in an Author Visit?

Bringing in authors to meet students humanizes them, it tells the students that they can aspire to be creative and successful and put something great into the world. Author visits help foster a life-long love for reading. They bring books to life on a whole new level, and they help students develop a greater appreciation for literature and the written word.
