Check and re-check the resources in your packet

We have put together a program and a packet that makes hosting an author visit very user-friendly when it comes to your time and effort.  We would encourage you not to try to do everything yourself but get other staff members involved.  The equipment we need is minimal and the resources we've made available are for you to pick and choose the ones you'd like to implement.  We know you wear several hats so we've tried to make it simple and sensitive to your time investment. 

Invite and Promote the visit

Feel free to inform and invite parents, fellow district librarians and administrators, community leaders and media personnel to attend the author visit.
