Our wonderful librarian, Justina McCaulley, hosted an author webcast for seventh graders!

Seventh grade teachers Maggie Lewis, Sonya DeArmitt and  Christine Knott-Hallinan came down to the the library last Wednesday, Feb. 9-Friday, Feb 11 to have a meet and greet with Alan Gratz.

Gratz is a book writer. He makes books about 9/11 and his writing is in a kid’s point of view.

Gratz was always a reluctant reader when he was a kid.  He played video games and joked that he ate a lot of pizza.

In his recorded webcast on YouTube, Gratz shares his purpose for writing books.

“I want to entertain you, and I want to write a book that you can’t put down,” said Gratz.

Some of his book are “Ground Zero,” “Refugee” and “Code of Honor.”
