Authors & Illustrators Day, a program sponsored by the Assistance League of Glendale, teaches students in GUSD elementary schools that they too can become authors or artists. Four authors who will be virtually visiting Verdugo Woodlands on Nov. 2 are Tao Nyeu (grades TK-K), Caroline Arnold (grades 1-2), Michelle Markel (grades 3-4), and Tracy Holczer (grades 5-6). All have expressed excitement about the Zoom event and Maureen Palacios from Once Upon a Time bookstore in Montrose is ordering the authors’ books to sell at the popular bookstore.

This event is funded by ALG Thrift Alley, located at E. 314 Harvard St. in Glendale. The store is open Wednesday thru Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and is accepting donations of gently used items that will be available to sell to customers at a substantial decrease.

For more information about joining the Assistance League, call President Carol Svatora at (586) 202-8764.
