January 16, 2010 - 10-12pm: Librarian Panel
A panel of local librarians will meet with SCBWI authors and illustrators in the University of the Incarnate Word Mabee Library auditorium.
The panel consists of two elementary school librarians, Jennifer Eckert— Leon Springs in Northside ISD and Bev Golden—Canyon Ridge in North East ISD. Other panel members are Legacy Middle School (East Central ISD) librarian Jennifer Smith and San Antonio Public Library (Central)’s Nohemi Lopez Rosdahl, who serves as collection development librarian.
The librarians will talk about the kind of books and authors most requested by children, what seems to be lacking in their collections, how they choose which books to order, how they schedule author/illustrator visits, etc. They will also be prepared to answer our questions so come ready to make connections with representatives of our local librarians.
Feel free to bring business cards or book marks to leave with the librarians if you want them to know about your published works.
Address: 4301 Broadway, San Antonio, Texas 78209 campus map
