[ISLMA-Share] Author Visit Advice Needed!

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

First of all, what a great author visit you are going to have!!  Our students still enjoy his books and remember him 2 years later!  He is very friendly and entertaining!


Do you have time to share a book or 2 of his during your library times with students?  Can you get staff members to share another with them?


Would your art teacher assist by having students draw / make "nerdy birdies" you can decorate with?  Or can you give kids an outline of different bird shapes and challenge them to color a nerdy birdie at home after they have heard the book?


Share information on the author's website and have students prepare questions ahead of time that are not already answered on the site.


Good luck!  You are going to have a blast.

I'm having my first-ever author visit at the end of this month- Aaron Reynolds! I need ideas on how I (the librarian) can prepare the students for his visit as well as recommendations I can give the classroom teachers to do in class. He's doing his Nerdy Birdy & writers workshop presentations for us. I'm so excited. Any and all (good) ideas welcome!
