F65 Family Author/Illustrator Experience
The Family Author program brings a children’s author to a set of District 65 schools each year and includes a combination of school, family and community based activities. Through each school’s library and classrooms, students read and/or become familiar with pre-determined, grade-appropriate books by the chosen author. Pre and post visit activities are developed to complement the theme or focus of the author’s work and are coordinated by classroom teachers and the librarian at each school.
