Authors in the Schools

Throughout the school year, the Chippewa Valley Book Festival supports schools in bringing inspiring and award-winning authors into the classrooms. Over the last twenty-five years, 50,000 students have been inspired by this program which provides funds for the authors’ travel and lodging expenses.

By spreading the author visits throughout the school year, librarians and teachers can now align the presentations with curricula and make visits more relevant and engaging. Where financially possible, students receive a copy of the author’s book ahead of time.

The Chippewa Valley Book Festival has as its goal to make sure every school has the funds to bring an author into their school and every student a copy of that author’s book. If you would like to support this mission, please consider making a donation using the button below.
