Photo opportunities will be at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Featured author Lynn Smith, a former news anchor for NBC News, MSNBC, and CNN Headline News, will host interactive story times featuring her inspiring picture book Just Keep Going at 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Student volunteers from the DAYLO book club will also be reading to attendees throughout the day. 

The Lowcountry Children’s Book Fair will also showcase several local children’s authors, including Mary T.
