Skyping with Gordon Korman

Last Friday, we got to Skype with Gordon Korman. It was an awesome finale to our Lunch Bunch program with 5th graders at the Norwich Public Schools. We spent thirty minutes asking questions:
How did he become a writer?
Does he have kids?
Are they readers?
If he wasn't a writer, what does he think he'd be doing?
How he got his inspiration/ideas?
and dozens of others.



He was great - lots of fun, lots of information, and lots of laughter. The kids (plus the librarians) had a great time hanging out with him! We were lucky to have a technology grant that allowed us this amazing opportunity!

Yesterday and Today: Bookish

I'm having a fun couple of book days - yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to go to Random House for a quick tour and lunch with some of the editors, which was fabulous. I'll share more on that over the weekend.

Plus, today Kim and I are Skyping with Gordon Korman!!!! Read more about why we're doing that at my librarian blog.
