This October 15-17, 25 well-known authors and illustrators of popular children’s books will visit 60 Humboldt County schools. They will meet students and talk about books, the business and craft of writing and illustration.  The authors and illustrators will come here from California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Utah, Florida and Indiana. They’ll be here to inspire, to be inspired, and to have fun.

On October 17, the authors and illustrators will spend the day at a public autographing session in the Main Library in Eureka.  During this time, their books can be purchased.
