We will be serving wine and cheese, handing out gift bags with free children's books, and discussing the topic of author visits -- how to get them at a discount and how to make the visits successful! Speakers will include Jill Hendrix, Fiction Addiction owner; Malinda Edmonston, Media Specialist at Pelham Road Elementary; and Jane Robertson, retired Northwood Middle Media Specialist. Attendees will receive a 20% discount on any merchandise purchased that day. Teachers can also earn professional development credit by submitting your attendance at this event to Candice Moore (cvmoore@greenville.k12.sc.us). Please RSVP to Fiction Addiction if you plan to attend so we know how many gift bags to make up!
