Writers and Illustrators Book Basket
As the lucky "winner" of the Joan Broerman Book Basket, I had the pleasure of donating a basket filled with new books to the library at H.W. Gwin Elementary School. Ginger Clark, the librarian, Traci Ingleright, enrichment teacher, and her students gathered in the library to accept the books and to get a sneak preview of what they would soon be reading.

The book basket was named in honor of one of the founding members and long time Regional Advisor of the Society for Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Attendees at the annual Writing and Illustrating for Kids Conference (WIK) purchase brand new books from the bookstore for the basket. While books are always welcome, with reduced budgets, school libraries need all the support they can get.
The librarian wrote, “The books are fabulous . . . you made a very big impression and I had to get those books out right away for them to read.”
