Now in its 30th year, Authors in April is a yearlong effort on the part of Rochester community school and private school parents, educators, and the Rochester Hills Public Library to bring highly regarded children’s authors to all of the community’s elementary and middle school students.  

Overseen by the non-profit Authors in April, Inc., the goal of Authors in April is to encourage students to become lifelong readers, improve their own creative writing ability, and develop greater appreciation, understanding and discernment for quality literature and art.
