Laurie Keller Day!

After weeks of preparation the big day had arrived...

Laurie Keller Author Visit Day!

Books read.  Artwork created.  Displays assembled.  November 16 was finally here!

When my colleague, Carrie Davies, and I learned that we would be sharing an additional library this year, we both knew that Laurie Keller would be the perfect person to bring as our first author/illustrator visit!  Her books and her presentations were sure to bring the excitement that we were hoping for in our new space....and THAT they did.

Here are some pictures from our wonderful day!

Great author, great kids, great school...GREAT DAY!

(Special thanks to our PTO for helping make this day possible!)

The excitement of Laurie Keller Day even spread to the dentist's office, where a student found a Laurie Keller book.  She and her mom read it together while they waited.
