Yesterday's Skype visit with Maggie Stiefvater was FAB-U-LOUS!
















Empty chairs wait in anticipation...

Then, voila! As if by magic, Maggie Stiefvater appears in our library- live via Skype.  She is witty, endearing, and completely entertaining. She even gave us a scoop! We all knew that her Shiver book is being made into a movie, but we didn't know The Scorpio Races will soon be a movie too.  (If you haven't read it yet, you should. Stop in, we have two copies.)
 
A library filled is a beautiful sight!  Fifty-two students, each having read Maggie's books, signed up for this event. Even Mr. Mendicino and Mr. McCreary joined in the fun.       




This awesome event was made possible by a grant from the Central Valley Education Foundation.  The CVEF's continued support to our high school library is greatly appreciated.

We'd also like to thank Mrs. Amy Patterson in the Middle School for all her help in making the connection for us.
Yep, Matt is one lucky guy!
A good time was had by all.  We can't wait to do it again!
