[CASL-L] Local author visits

[LaPlante, Casey]

The school and public librarians of Granby CT teamed up again this past
month to host the 3rd Annual Granby Children's Book Festival which featured
over 30 children's book authors and illustrators from the nearby region.
Please take a look at the list of our participants if you are looking to
invite someone to your school--most are very affordable!

Please feel free to ask me any questions about our event as well!
