 * [] 2012 Letters About Literature Program**

Letters About Literature is a program encouraging children in grades 4-12 to write a letter to the author of a book that has affected him or her in a profound way. Letters that are selected as National Winners will receive a $500 Target GiftCard, plus will secure a $10,000 Letters About Literature Reading Promotion Grant in the child's name for his or her community or school library. Letters must be submitted by Friday, January 6, 2012.

To repeat: your school library could receive $10,000 if a winning letter is written by one of your students! There are three levels: Level 1--Grades 4-6 Level 2--Grades 7-8 Level 3--Grades 9-12 Two National Winners will be named for each level.

**LARA ZIELIN at KEARNS HIGH!**
Author of [|THE IMPLOSION OF AGGIE WINCHESTER], [|DONUT DAYS], and [|MAKE THINGS HAPPEN: THE KEY TO NETWORKING FOR TEENS!] Visit with Lara Zielin in the Library Media Center - May 11th, 2:30 PM I’m an author. I wrote a book called [|DONUT DAYS]. I have another book coming out called [|THE IMPLOSION OF AGGIE WINCHESTER], which lands on bookshelves in summer of 2011. After that, my novel THE VORTEX GAME will be out. And that’s about all I can plan for since the Apocalypse is supposed to happen next, and we may all need to deal with other things at that point (see also: Road, The). Other stuff? I like cheese. One time I swallowed a moth. If you want to email me, please do! I can be reached at: **new(dot)zielind(at)gmail(dot)com** If you’re a writer, I’d love it if you stopped by my other site chock full of writerly information: [|www.help4writers.com]. I grew up in a town in Wisconsin called Eau Claire. It’s French for “clear water.” I thought “clear water” in French was //Evian//. Guess not. Read more about Lara....
