Clinton Elementary School librarian Christina Soberalski last month announced a children's author is coming back to Clinton.

Dusti Bowling is coming to Clinton this spring and Soberalski indicates she will be at both CES and the junior high school. A children's author has become a tradition at CES in the last few years. 

Bowling has only written eight books and Soberalski explains they had their students across the various buildings read one of her books to become familiar with her. She notes they try to alternate authors that have popular books and those that may not be all that familiar to students.

Children's authors have come to Clinton thanks in part to the support of the Clinton Community Education Foundation. Soberalski says the CCEF is again stepping up to help bring Bowling to the community.

Soberalski says as of right now there will unfortunately not be the opportunity for the community to meet Bowling, something that has been a staple of author visits in the past. Bowling will be visiting Clinton on May 3 and 4.
