LIBRARY AUTHOR VISIT / STORY TIME
Now scheduling for Spring/Fall 2026
General Information:
I am available to do a limited number of library visits per year. A
typical visit lasts about 30-50 minutes and is fast-paced, interactive, and visually engaging. Geared for young children, it usually includes:
• reading one of my picture books
• a drawing demonstration
• a Q & A session
• book raffle
• book sale & signing
I am also happy to sign and personalize books after my presentation. I will bring copies with me. I will also donate a book for the raffle.
Fees:
Franklin County (MA) Library: $150.00
Massachusetts Library: $250.00*
Out-of-state Library: $300.00*
*In addition, there is a travel fee of 70¢ per mile (round trip from Greenfield, MA) plus lodging and meals if necessary.
