Author Visits

I have had the opportunity to put my logistics skills to use this past November as youth services planned for a Marc Brown visit offsite. We usually have onsite author visits, but the interest was so astounding a bigger venue was suggested. The character cutouts were also my suggestion as a way to build interest int he children's area before the event and a selfie station at the event itself.

During the event I was a runner, ensuring people got breaks again, everything was covered and things went smoothly. I also had the idea for the glasses for the selfie station.

I have experience assisting in author events at the library as well in adult, youth and the annual author fair. I have learned about these event logistics not only from helping with them, but from attending them at other libraries and being able to see both sides.
