Join amazing authors and guests who will share the best new books and practical but exciting ways to engage young readers from the upper elementary levels through high school. This session sponsored by faculty from Sam Houston State University College of Education Library Science features Jason Reynolds, R.L. Stine, A. S. King, Nic Stone, "That Librarian" Amanda Jones and more than two dozen other MG and YA authors! Educator Day (8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.) will take place at the Irving Convention Center. We ask that educators do not bring children to Educator Day as NTTBF provides a free, all-day festival on Saturday, March 1, for readers of all ages. Parking is $15.00 (no cash accepted) both days at the Irving Convention Center. *This session is being facilitated by the North Texas Teen Book Festival team, and ESC Regions 10 and 11 are providing support and attendance confirmation.
