Youth Literature Festival


I saw a billboard in town for the upcoming Youth Literature Festival to be held on October 4th-6th in Champaign-Urbana.  Check out the webpage for the festival that includes a Community Day Celebration on October 6th that is free to the public. 

I was thinking of ways a school library could incorporate this event before and/or after the author visits the school. 

Hang fliers prior to the event
Have a display of the book(s) written by the author visiting the school
Have a display of the books written by all the authors participating in the festival
Have the kids create book jackets or posters for the books written by the participating authors to display
Hang/display crafts or projects done at the festival/community day by the kids who were there

Other ideas?
