One week from today Michael Sullivan will be at the Franklin Public Library! Have you registered yet? There is still plenty of room!
Michael will be presenting 2 different programs, one in the morning and one in the afternoon - Connecting Boys with Books and Why Boys Lit Gets a Bad Rap. Michael doesn't get to Wisconsin too much, so this is an excellent opportunity to come and get ideas on how to get boys excited about books! The flyer with all the information on the day's events is attached. If you choose to attend both morning and afternoon sessions and would like to order in lunch to the library, an order form for Cousins Subs is also attached. There is no registration fee - this program is completely free!
For more background on Michael, check out his website here: http://talestoldtall.com/index.html.
Register by sending an email stating your name, title and organization and the sessions you will be attending to keri.miller_at_mcfls.org. If you are ordering lunch attach the completed form to your registration email.
Register today!
Complete details below.
We hope that you can join us for one or both of the sessions on August 3rd!
