It did rain on the day of the Summer Reading Kickoff but the top-notch folk at the West Lafayette Public Library were quick to give me an indoor alternative which turned out to be just perfect. (Go to my Facebook or Instagram page to see a fast motion set-up of the table set to music from the Benny Hill Show.) They also put a table near mine where children could spin a wheel and win free prizes. At my table I was generously handing out mazes and bookmarks.
The photo above was sent to me by the mother of these wonderful children who wanted to hear all about my book in addition to getting their free mazes. Their mother told me that they really enjoyed talking to me.
Many people bought my books and it all went very smoothly! (Thank you, too, to all of my friends and family who’ve been buying them on line.)
You’ll be glad to know the petting zoo outside the windows behind me was still a big hit and the rain never fell too hard. Apparently the ice cream truck was out there, too.
On to Barnes & Noble tomorrow where they’ve ordered 50 copies of my book to have on hand! I’ll be signing them all afternoon from 1:00 to 5:00. We printed more giveaways for the event, and I’ve barely dipped into the many bookmarks I ordered.
I so enjoy meeting people and I’m sure to have a great time. I look forward to getting more of the “Most Amazing” suggestions that were placed in the hollow book and sharing them with you.
TTFN!
