Richard Cowdrey Virtual Author Visit
|
The Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County is delighted to announce that thanks to the generosity of a Buckeye Book Fair Grant, we will welcome local author Richard Cowdrey for a virtual visit on October 29, 2020 at 5:30 PM via Zoom. To receive your Zoom code to attend the virtual author visit, please register with name and email address.
PLMVKC Children's Library staff have designed a number of programs and activities leading up to Mr. Cowdrey's visit. Visit the children's floor of the library to read Mr. Cowdrey's Fiona the Hippo series, where you can check out additional books about hippopotami, and careers in illustration and zoology, to learn more about Mr. Cowdrey's work, about animal life, and about potential careers in science and humanities. The Children's Program has planned two " Take and Make" projects for young patrons to complete at home.
Participants in Mr. Cowdrey's Virtual Visit on Zoom will automatically be entered in a free book raffle: we're giving away six copies of Mr. Cowdrey's Fiona books. If you win, you can pick up your new book at the library anytime during library hours. Mr. Cowdrey's visit is a very special event for the Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County. Mr. Cowdrey is a superstar to our young patrons, and will be a great role model to aspiring writers and avid readers. We hope you can join us! |
