Registration Open for Children’s Literature Festival

The Children’s Literature Festival will return to Truman’s campus April 12.

The event will feature 10 authors and one illustrator to share their books with fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade students. More information about them can be found on the CLF website. In addition to the traditional CLF activities, the Truman Theatre Department will perform a free live theatre production of “Charlotte’s Web” at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. This classic tale is suitable for all ages and tells the story of how an innocent young pig and a smart spider charmed and amazed the humans around them.

Those attending the Literature Festival in the morning could eat lunch and attend the 12:30 p.m. performance of “Charlotte’s Web.” Those attending in the afternoon could arrive early for the 10 a.m. “Charlotte’s Web” performance, eat lunch and then attend the Literature Festival.

There is no charge for adults attending as chaperones for school groups. An invoice will be emailed to the contact person after registration.
