Really good experience working with AAE. Attentive, professional, flexible throughout the planning experience. It was a true pleasure to have Nafissa here. The book is a great choice for citywide reads, and her presentation is a great complement to the book. Well done! I would love to keep in touch with AAE about future author events at DC Public Library.
