Author Day
Author
Day is an annual reading incentive program to encourage recreational
reading among young adults, grades seven through nine. Those in higher
grades are also welcome to participate. This year it will encompass
nine Detroit Public Library branches and Children's Library, at least
20 schools and appoximately 2,400 students. Each teen will read books
from the list of four young adult titles and complete a report from
for each book read. Students will vote in late March for their favorite
author and the winning author will speak at the Author Day Grand Final
program held at Main Library in May 2007. The finale program includes
dialogue with the winning author and the mingling of students from
the participating Detroit Schools. Students will also learn about
additional titles by the author and are given an opportunity to purchase
autographed copies.
