Student Literary Encounters
On Thursday

Miami-Dade and Broward county schools to listen to and meet their favorite
authors and illustrators, and to be introduced to new works of fiction or
nonfiction that they may otherwise not have been exposed to. Free. For
reservations, please contact Nicole Swift at Nicole.swift@mdc.edu.
