Welcome to the School Library Service’s exciting Meet the Author series for 2012-13. Many of you will be familiar with the Wessex Children’s Book Festival, and we are thrilled to be able to extend the opportunities the festival offers with our new series of events.
We’ve got the usual line up of fantastic authors you’ve come to expect of the Wessex Festival, but Meet the Author will be happening throughout the school year, every year.
Meet the Author aims to support literacy and to inspire children’s reading and writing, by giving them the opportunity to meet some of the very best and most popular authors writing for children today.
Events can be booked by emailing sls.events@hants.gov.uk, and specifying how many tickets are required. Tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis and priority will be given to SLS subscribing schools.
