[LM_NET] Ga. Children's Literature Conference coming soon

["Tony L. Pope" <Pope1966@AOL.COM>]

FYI...This was recently posted by the coordinator for the Georgia Children's 
Literature Conference to be held in Athens, Georgia on the UGA campus and 
thought I'd share...it's a great way to see authors and illustrators in a smaller 
setting and I've even had breakfast with several over the years.
