About the Library Visiting Author Program

Every year, Lisa Levin invites authors to visit the school to talk about their books, storytelling, and the writing process. These author visits are thoughtfully curated to correspond with themes that connect with the curriculum and relate to students’ interests. Hearing the authors speak about their lives and careers makes writing a more tangible life path for students and provides inspiration to read the books the authors talk about.
