As explained on Annette Whipple's website:
"So
you're an author with a book about to be published or maybe you're already
published. Congratulations! One fabulous way to connect with more readers is
through school visits (also known as author visits). If you're interested
in providing author visits to schools, you need to know this is an important
service. It's not just a storytime or a reading. Instead, it is an opportunity
for you, the author, to engage with readers in a way that supports the school
curriculum while showcasing who you are and your books. You'll likely sell a
few books along the way. And honestly, author visits are a big part of many
kidlit author's income."

And now for my two cents...
(1) always ask where to park and what ID / background checks you may need ahead of time
and
(2) require a school staff member to stay in the room during the presentaion (#becauseliability) and remidn folks that while photos are welcome, full video / audio recordings are a no-no because of potential copyright issues
