Hi!
Many of you may already have seen this; Polacco has re-posted the
details of her recent experience so that all might be clear on what
has happened.

"Due to an overwhelming response concerning the cancellation of my
appearance at the IRA, (May 2nd. and 3rd., 2006), I am reposting the
original announcement letter.
Urgent Notice....
To All Educators, Librarians, and Media Specialists Regarding the
cancellation of my appearance at the IRA in Chicago for May 2 and 3,
2006
A few months ago I was approached by The Buchanan Associates in
Dublin, OH to appear at the International Reading Association
Conference in Chicago on May 2 and 3, 2006. I was to be part of 5
events. Speeches, 'meet and greet' and book signings.
I was happy to accept the invitation which, I assumed, was coming
from the I.R.A. and my publisher. It is always such an honor for me
to speak and interact with teachers and librarians from around the
country.
But then a very disturbing turn of events transpired. My staff
started receiving phone calls and emails from this firm in Ohio
requesting that I furnish them with a detailed written outline of
what I intended to include in my speeches. I assumed, of course, that
this was asked so that a synopsis of my content could be included in
a printed brochure furnished to the conferees."
To read the rest, (and it is extensive), please go to Polacco's website.
