[LM_NET] TAR - Author Visit for K-5 Elem. School - Call of the Wild themes

[Linda Paul <lpaul@SPENCERPORTSCHOOLS.ORG>]

Have you had any of the following authors visit your library?  If so, can you send 
along any comments on how it went for you and/or how you think it may work for our 
K-5 building?  We are tying the visit to the NEA Big Read of The Call of the Wild 
in our area.  Of course, if you have suggestions on another author that may tie 
well to the themes of sled dogs, survival, Alaska, wilderness, etc., please forward 
those, too.  We had Matthew McElligott for a different theme last year and he was 
phenomenal.  We'd like to invite another author who can really connect with our 
students about reading and writing as well as themes related to The Call of the 
Wild.
Thanks!
