Youth Literature Festival
School is getting ready to start and that means the date for the next Youth Literature Festival is getting closer too! Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 9 for a fantastic day filled with your favorite authors, book-related activities, puppets, music and storytelling. Krannert Center for the Performing Arts will be hosting the day-long event from 10-4. You will have the chance to see favorite local authors like Patricia Hruby-Powell, Dan Keding, Sara Latta and Alice McGinty, as well as authors from farther away like Jim Aylesworth, Esme Raji Codell and Jenny Meyerhoff. To get in the mood for a day of meeting your favorite authors, you may want to try Patricia MacLachlan's new book Word After Word After Word - about an author who visits a classroom just like yours. Hope to see you at the festival! -Elaine B.
