Hosting an Author or Illustrator

A visit from an author or an illustrator is a great way to bring attention to the fun of reading and to your store or library. Attending a book reading or presentation can be fun and exciting for community members, and entertaining for children. Meeting the author or illustrator of a favorite book can result in inspired readers or inspired customers!
