Meet the Author

Family Reading Night

Families are invited to join us for an evening with children's author Pat Brisson. Mrs. Brisson has published over 20 storybooks and chapter books for children. After reading from two of her books, she will share how a story grows from an idea to a completed book, answer questions from the audience, and autograph copies of her books. Each family will receive a free copy of Benny's Pennies and a take-home activity. Lite refreshments will be served.
