[Tasl] Full Southern Festival of Books Youth Programs Schedule!

[Emily Masters]

For those of you in and around Nashville, here's the full schedule of
events.  I hope you'll contact me if you're interested in bringing a
group to any particular session, so I can hold spaces for you.  Some of
you e-mailed after my initial "teaser," but no one has confirmed (yet)! 

All events will be held in Legislative Plaza, the Capitol, and the
Sheraton in downtown Nashville.
