Reading and Writing into the New Decade
April 19-24
 The 2010 Literature Festival provides the St. Charles community with several
opportunities to become acquainted with authors, illustrators, and storytellers and to develop
a deeper appreciation for children’s, young adult, and adult literature.
The St. Charles Public Library is proud to cooperate with Community Unit School District
#303 by hosting events that are open to the public: author book displays, book sales, an
author autographing event, a very special storytelling concert at the Arcada Theatre, and a
poetry slam for high school students. Check the Library and CUSD #303 websites for a full
