Bookmark It believes that creating a personal connection to books is one of the best ways to instill a love of reading in a child. So, to kick off the school year, we have invited over 20 Central Florida authors/illustrators to join us for a special Central Florida Educators Open House/Book Fair on Sunday, September 13th from noon-4pm in East End Market’s beautiful APEX meeting space.
FREE to attend, the casual open house setting will provide educators an opportunity to create programming that brings local, accomplished writers into the school or classroom. It will allow teachers to meet authors in person, preview (and purchase) their titles, collect school visit information, and review any specially designed curriculum or teaching tools that accompany their books. Rounding out the event will be a special pop-up ‘bookstore’ for school purchases offering a 20% educators discount and free school delivery for special orders.
Registration is encouraged, but not required.
