[CASL-L] Library Speakers Consortium

[Angela Antonelli]

Hi all,

Do any of you know anything about the program below? It sounds great, but
this is the first I have heard about it, so I thought I'd inquire.

Here is the information that I received via an email this week:

*The Library Speakers Consortium (LSC) is working on a new initiative to
bring bestselling children's book author talk programs to elementary
schools. Right now, only the best-resourced schools can regularly afford
the speaking fees of top authors. Our vision is to change that dynamic by
pooling the resources of thousands of schools to dramatically expand access
to these programs for all kids. LSC will produce 2-3 online author talk
events each month focused on different grade levels with the goal of
inspiring kids to read more. The live and recorded author talks will be
available for use by teachers and media specialists. We've already
confirmed more than a dozen bestselling authors for the program launch
including Kate DiCamillo, Jeff Kinney, Dan Santat, Shannon Hale, Oge Mora,
Kate Messner and Matt de la Peña.*

*Please note that membership pricing will double for schools that join
after the initial launch so it would be beneficial to connect soon if this
is of interest.*

*If you are the appropriate person to speak with, what does your calendar
look like? If not, who do you recommend I talk to?*

*Thanks in Advance,*

*Becky Brent*
*Partnerships Manager*
