Upcoming Live Read-Aloud
Join us as we welcome Newbery- and National Book Award-winning author Katherine Paterson for a free, virtual visit as she discusses her latest book, Jella Lepman and Her Library of Dreams. Her reading will be followed by a spirited Q&A, giving students a chance to ask questions about her books.
Attend the live webinar to be entered to win 1 of 5 copies of Jella Lepman and Her Library of Dreams!
When you take amazing authors and imaginative illustrators, and feature their current or most beloved stories, and bring them to students and educators right in their classroom, you have the perfect formula for Mackin’s Storyteller Spotlight.
These live readings will bring you closer to the spirit in which these stories were meant to be enjoyed. And the exciting Q&A sessions immediately after each reading give viewers a chance to dig deeper into the stories and the talents who created them.
Whether you watch it live, or stream a pre-recorded reading, you and your students will be a part of a memorable experience that will last a lifetime!
“We attended the live webinar on Jarrett J. Krosoczka today! None of our kiddos have ever seen or meet an author. Thanks for bringing this book/author media journey into our school system. Mackin does it all in the Library World. You made our library services shine here today!”

“Matt de la Peña was amazing! Thank you Matt and Mackin for this opportunity. I’m definitely buying The Perfect Place for my new library!”

We loved the @MackinLibrary author visit webinar with @wimpykid! The tour of the book store/office/writing area, the draw along, the Q&A… So fun! We enjoyed a hot chocolate reward while we watched
