Since Marty Chan's visit, we have had several teachers notice an improvement in their student’s writing. Students are using his advice to include more thoughtful and engaging details in their work.

Author visits encourage students to dream, to try new things, to think about something in a new way, to believe in themselves and what they could accomplish. It helps our students to feel important. Who knows what will be triggered within a student and what it will spur them on to do in the future!

Literary artist visits inspire our patrons of all ages to share stories, check out books, tell their own tales, and be creative with their words, voices, and illustrations.

Having a real author come and speak to the students about their experiences in school, and the struggles they have as a writer is so inspiring for students. When students are told by an author that they all have stories to tell encourages them in their writing.
