Tuesday night's Welcome Reception provided a unique opportunity for conference attendees to network and mingle with leading academics and authors in the field of Young Adult Literature.

Authors Chris Crutcher, Kimberly Willis Holt, Chris Crowe, Sarah Guillory and Matt de la Peña interacted with fans, signed copies of their novels and posed for photos.

LSU Provost Stuart Bell and wife Susan, who is a strong advocate for child literacy within the state of Louisiana, welcomed attendees and thanked educators and authors alike for their devotion to reaching children through the written word and fostering a love for literacy and education. LSU Vice Provost Gil Reeve also returned following his welcome address on Monday.
