This week I’m on the road visiting five schools in Florida and a reading festival in Ohio, and I thought it would be a good time to highlight the virtual touring program I offer for schools. I hope to complete 100 virtual touring events from my office in Walla Walla, Washington in 2010. If you’re a teacher or a librarian, you can sign up for one of these free events at the virtual touring page. There you’ll find a video about how the program works, a calendar with available days and times, and a downloadable PDF file for your classroom. The virtual touring events are free and last about 20 minutes. Perfect for groups of 30-150.

Other touring resources:

Real world calendar (changes often)

Follow me on Twitter for up-to-the-minute pictures from the road (both events and food!).

And finally a quick shout out to my friend Rick Riordan – congratulations on the Percy Jackson movie! Here’s hoping the 39 Clues movie is next in line.

   Hello Mr. Carman!
   I’m from Southside High School in Fort Smith, AR. I was there for the video conference this morning and I loved hearing your stories about Skeleton Creek and how it got started! I am also very excited for your new release. By the way, thank you so much for sending us a copy! You were so funny and it was nice to meet you! (virtually) Thanks for taking your time to talk to us. -Sarah
