SCBWI is the international professional organization that serves children's book writers and illustrators, and I am the Oregon Chapter's Library Liaison. One of my roles in this volunteer position is to help connect authors/illustrators and librarians who are planning events of this nature. I'd be happy to be a resource to you in any way I can. I will be at ALA Midwinter. If you are going to be there, too, we could plan a meet-up there, or during some other time that is convenient to you. I look forward to hearing back from you. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,<br><div apple-content-edited="true"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial;
