The Judith Rosenfeld Author’s Day
Program is funded through an endowment established by Francis MacFarlane in

The Author’s Day Program is named in
memory of the school’s former librarian, Judith Rosenfeld, who instituted this
program in 1993. Authors who have
visited the school include Newbery Medal winners Madeleine L'Engle,
Jean Craighead George and Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, Caldecott Medal winner Mordicai Gerstein, as well as Joseph Bruchac,
Molly Bang and Ashley Bryan.
On Author’s Day, the visiting author
speaks in a formal setting with grade-level groupings of students. All students have read at least one of the
author’s books prior to the visit. Each
student individually meets the author as books are personally signed. The program has a real impact on the students
and encourages them in their reading and writing.
