xNote from the School Librarian to Hilary Fan
5May |
Hi Hilory, |
I talked to the author last night and he has agreed to come andgive the talk. Could you send
him an e-mail introducing yourself, thanking him and giving him the Following de tcils?
He needs to know where dnd when the talk unl be, and whet you would like him to talk about.
T think you and Mr's Martinez have already decided these things, but as he is Chinese, why
don't you also ask him to talk about why he writes in English rather than Chinese?
Thanks,
Ms Ho
Schoo! Librarian
