I am based in Colchester, CT. I try to keep my pricing the same for my CT and MA classes. I do tend to ask an extra $50 for my presentations if my commute is beyond 1.5 hrs. I do offer discounts for libraries who book a series of classes. Pitch me some dates/classes and we can work together.

I typically bring my laptop, join your wifi, and connect to your projection system via your HDMI cord. Besides that, I like to spread my props and books out on a table or two at the front.
