- **Event Name**: Saturday Afternoon Middle Grade LAUNCH Event with Author/Illustrator Jarrett Lerner!
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We always love to celebrate a new Jarrett Lerner book! We hope you'll join us as we celebrate the LAUNCH of Roohi and Nate Are Not On The Same Page, a new illustrated middle-grade novel, co-created by Jarrett and author-illustrator Supriya Kelkar, about a pair of unlikely friends determined to save the library that brought them together. Jarrett will be joined in conversation by two local librarians, Lisa Wagoner and Kim Honey, to discuss the work and importance of school librarians. 

Roohi and Nate are not friends. Their paths have crossed a handful of times over the years—and the outcome has never been good. Nate thinks Roohi is a snobby know-it-all, and Roohi thinks Nate is nothing but a slacker. But that begins to change when they both somewhat reluctantly join a reading club that meets during lunch at their school library.

About Jarrett Lerner

Jarrett Lerner is the award-winning author-illustrator of more than two dozen books for kids, including the EngiNerds series of middle grade novels, the Geeger the Robot series of early chapter books, the activity books Give This Book a Title and Give This Book a Cover, The Hunger Heroes series of graphic novel chapter books, the Nat the Cat series of early readers, the Scare School Diaries series of highly illustrated chapter books, and the My Mad Scientist Mom series of illustrated chapter books. Jarrett is also the creator of the illustrated novel in verse A Work in Progress (the 2023 middle school Global Read Aloud selection). He lives with his wife and daughters in Massachusetts.

About Lisa Wagoner

Lisa Wagoner has been an educator since 2002. She was a 1st and 4th grade classroom teacher for 8 years and has spent the last 14 blissful years as a librarian for children in Preschool through 5th grade. She did not have positive library experiences in elementary school and did not enjoy reading. Thankfully, Lisa did become a lover of reading and libraries as a young adult. These experiences drive her commitment to make the library a fun and exciting place where kids love to be. Lisa holds a strong belief that positive library experiences for young children are incredibly important and vital in making lifelong readers and library patrons.

About Kim Honey

After a stint in corporate America, Kim Honey became a high school teacher in 1994. After teaching business and social studies for 23 years, she became a school librarian and has thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of teaching students to be mindful consumers of information and rekindling the love of reading. Ms. Honey has focused on creating a library space that is relaxing, welcoming, and reflects the diversity of her students.
