Author Day
Author Day is an annual reading incentive program to
encourage recreational reading among young adults, grades seven through
nine. Those in higher grades are also welcome to participate. This
year it will encompass nine Detroit Public Library branches and Children's
Library, at least 20 schools and appoximately 2,400 students. Each
teen will read books from the list of four young adult titles and
complete a report from for each book read. Students will vote in late
March for their favorite author and the winning author will speak
at the Author Day Grand Final program held at Main Library in May
2009. The finale program includes dialogue with the winning author
and the mingling of students from the participating Detroit Schools.
Students will also learn about additional titles by the author and
are given an opportunity to purchase autographed copies.
