Curtis Jobling visiting on January 21 at 4:30 PM!

Do you have off school on Monday, January 21st? Are you looking for something fun to do that's free and interesting? Why not join us for an AWESOME author visit.

On Monday, January 21st at 4:30 PM, Wissahickon Valley Public Library in Blue Bell, will be welcoming acclaimed author Curtis Jobling!

Can I tell you how awesome this is? First, his books are popular, and two, the publisher sent us goodies! I'm not going to tell you one of the goodies because that will be your freebie to take home from this awesome event, but the second one was this (which was waiting for me after vacation. WOO!):

You can see this lovely sign in our lobby by the event board!

 Third, Curtis Jobling is actually traveling from "across the pond" to be here! He's from England, which means this might be your only chance for a while to see him speak about the Wereworld series and get a signed book.

If you would like a copy of the book to have signed, contact the Towne Book Center & Cafe in Collegeville to order a copy today!

Gayle Forman Visits WVPL on Jan. 24 at 4:30 PM
