Hundreds of people - students, teachers, administrators, parents (and librarians!) - experienced an amazing day yesterday, as author Jerdine Nolen captivated her audiences, charming us with her stories and encouraging us with her urging to "hold onto your dreams, as you would your balloons." Be sure to read her award-winning book, Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm, for more on that.
Thanks to all who made this author visit possible, especially Sodus Central School Librarians Becky Olson and Jennifer VanKouwenberg and their administrators, and the Friends of the Sodus Free Library. The Intermediate School's Homework Club even crafted a Plantzilla for the occasion!
At the evening session's reception, our Friends served punch and cookies, and sold several books, which Jerdine graciously signed for everyone.
