To order tickets by mail or for more information, call 503.988.5402.

After his talk, Mr. Scieszka will autograph his books, which will be available for purchase. Ticket sales support the library's outreach to local schools, providing books, transportation, lecture tickets and a chance to meet the author to hundreds of students from schools that normally could not afford an author visit. This year's beneficiaries are students at Grout Elementary.


The Children's Author Lecture is made possible in part by The Library Foundation with support from McCormick and Schmick's and Riverdale School District.
