dicamillo devotion

Our library hosted Newbery Award winner Kate DiCamillo Monday night. Our event was a great success - a sold out lecture with over 900 students, teachers, librarians, and parents squeezing into the old church.
Kate brought real life to the lecture - doing an extensive q&a with the kids in the audience.

Afterwards, the signing line was amazing - it went on for two hours. I got some books signed for E and his teachers as well as some gift copies. After the last chair was folded and last stanchion stacked away, our planning team went out for cocktails downtown. What fun it is to get to work on these projects!
