That same weekend, September 20-22, is Concordia's Plum Creek Children's Literacy Festival. Every year, the Festival brings well-known authors and illustrators of children's books to Seward. I think our local kids have been spoiled by the opportunity to interact with "real" authors every year! I still remember the first time I met a published author--it was Nancy Carlson, and I was a teacher in the Lincoln Public Schools. Thanks to the Festival (and to Chapters, of course, since we've brought several authors to town over the last eight years, including Nancy Carlson), our kids don't have to wait till they're grown up to meet the creators of their favorite books.This year's featured guests at the Festival are:
- David Wiesner
- Clare Vanderpool
- Gary D. Schmidt
- Andrea Pinkney
- Jarrett Krosoczka
- Ted Scheu
- Tom Lichtenheld
- R. W. & Zoe Alley
While Chapters is not a host of the Festival and not involved in book sales at the event, we do have books by the featured authors and illustrators at the store. Purchase your books at Chapters before September 19, and we'll have them signed for you while the authors are in town. We're grateful to Vikki and the Festival committee for making it possible for us to have books signed for our customers.
