Middle Grade Author Extravaganza Returns to New Canaan Library

Sunday, October, 20, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Free

Calling all readers and aspiring writers from ages 8 to 12, and their families! Last year’s gratifying response to the Library’s first Middle Grade Author Extravaganza prompts another exciting extravaganza for this year. The event is presented in partnership with Elm Street Books, and takes place on Sunday, October 20 from 1 – 4 p.m. Please register online at newcanaanlibrary.org.
The “Middle Grade Author Extravaganza” will feature 9 nationally published children’s authors who will discuss their work and themselves at an informal panel discussion starting at 1:00 p.m. Attending authors this year are: Jennifer Blecher, Jake Burt (a Nutmeg Nominee), Sayantani DasGupta, Conor Grennan, Jodi Kendall, Janae Marks, Suzanne Nelson, Eliot Schrefer, and Booki Vivat. Following the panel there will be ample time for kids and their families to meet and greet the authors, and to have their books signed.
Books will be sold at the event, courtesy of Elm Street Books. Those interested in putting a reserve on a copy of any of the titles in advance, to be picked up at the event, can do so by contacting Elm Street Books at 203-966-4545.
