Tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon from 3-4 School Library Journal is sponsoring an online interview panel with several award winning authors of Young Adult nonfiction books. The panelists include:
Shane Burcaw—author of Laughing at My Nightmare (Roaring Brook)
Anne Schwartz—VP & Publisher, Schwartz & Wade Books (an imprint of Random House Children’s Books)
Emily Arnold McCully—author of Ida M. Tarbell: The Woman Who Challenged Big Business—and Won! (Clarion)

The authors will discuss their books, their research and writing process, and what makes books engaging to teens.
We have registered for the program and will be projecting the interviews on the large screen in our Activity Room. Anyone who is interested in YA literature and would like to join us is welcome.
