Michele, I'd just like to post a reminder about my forthcoming Libraries
Unlimited title, TERRIFIC CONNECTIONS WITH AUTHORS, ILLUSTRATORS, AND
STORYTELLERS : REAL SPACE AND VIRTUAL LINKS (November 1999), co-authored
by Jane Kurtz.  Not only will you find a chapter about locating authors,
illustrators, and storytellers to visit your school, you'll also find
nine other chapters that discuss the very best ways to prepare for and
ensure really meaningful visits, both face-to-face and virtually!

As I posted last month, if anyone is interested in having an electronic
or snail mail version of the prepub discount flyer sent to them, feel
free to contact me.

In addition, the New England chapter of the Society of Children's Book
Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) has a new option you might be
interested in.  I will post their press release below.

Best wishes,
Toni Buzzeo, MA, MLIS
