Young Authors Conferences

  TWA’s authors visit elementary schools and read works of student authors. We offer encouragement and recognition of      each writer’s strengths. Many area elementary schools set aside a special day to recognize these young writers. Library Media Specialist Lenita Joe at Sealey Elementary has been instrumental in organizing the YAC program at that school.
