Celebrity authors coming to HC next year!

Why not involve your students? The library is close to “signing” 3 or 4 exciting young authors to visit next year. I think it would be great to use books by these authors in our classrooms next year. That could mean summer reading choices, lit circle choices, extra credit outside reads, etc. Here are the authors: Jon Green (An Abundance of Catherines), Gene Yang (American Born Chinese… my favorite graphic novel by far), Terry Truman (Stuck in Neutral). This is a GREAT opportunity to get kids excited about the literary life. Kids will be able to meet authors, get books signed, hear a presentation, etc. If you have some interest, talk to me, talk to your team members. I think there are ways to do it as a team, or by yourself or in small groups.
