TL10.2p1-9 The Teaching Librarian Volume 10, no. 2 29 Ann Amos I firmly believe that the teas have motivated the students to improve their writing and read- ing skills. The children are ecstatic to have their work recognized as being worthy to read at an Authors' Tea. The most important reward in the implementation of this project has been the new excitement and enthusiasm generated in the stu- dents about writing and reading. All the partners - teacher-librarian, principal, teachers and par- ents - have helped to make a tremendous differ- ence in the children's love of reading and writing. Promoting the love of reading and writing in a partnership role is still the major function of an elementary school library and teacher-librarian. An author's tea is certainly one way to accom- plish this most important goal. z AA tteeaa ppaarrttyy ffoorr yyoouunngg aauutthhoorrss
