About this Event
Join Bookmarks and Scholastic for an evening celebrating educators! This is a great opportunity to connect with other educators in the community, learn about new books perfect for K-12 students, and get free swag courtesy of Scholastic. We will be serving light refreshments as well.
This is a free event with registration required.
Attendees can expect to hear from authors Tanisia Moore, Natalie Lloyd, and Lamar Giles as well as a representative from Scholastic. There will be a Q&A session, so be sure to submit any questions you have for the authors with your registration. A booksigning will follow the seated program.
