Kids Talking With Authors


The deadline for Letters About Literature is quickly approaching (postmarked by December 6!). If you're not familiar with the program, Letters About Literature asks readers in grades 4th through 12th to write a personal letter to an author about how their book affected the reader. Sponsored by the Library of Congress in partnership with Target, this national reading and writing promotion program is a great way for kids to think about how literature (fiction/nonfiction, poetry, speeches) has affected them.

Check out the official rules and entry form here or pick up a copy in the Children's Room.
