Approximately 130 students were lucky enough to meet YA author Don Calame on November 7th. Not only is he an accomplished author, but clearly has a few acting skills as his enthusiastic reading from his novels demonstrated. I think everyone was entertained (and occasionally even a little bit shocked - in a good way. . . not used to hearing some of those words out loud in a school library I bet!). More importantly, we all learned something about what it takes to be a published author. Also loved those Hollywood tales about what is involved in getting a script made into a movie (or more commonly NOT made into a movie apparently).
Don invited students to contact him through his website at www.doncalame.com so if you were there on the 7th, feel free to let him know what you thought.
Thanks again to Jocelyn Knoester, Teen Services Librarian at the Collingwood Public Library, for arranging this visit.
