A Good Cause

by Julie Coulter Bellon

The economic downturn has affected nearly everyone, but one place you might not expect to have been hit is our public libraries. In response to one community’s need, fifteen authors are uniting together to do a Book Festival Fundraiser tomorrow night.

Here are the details:

On April 3rd, 2009 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Pleasant Grove Library (30 E. Center in Pleasant Grove), Provident Book and Humdinger Toys, Scholastic books, and fifteen authors are uniting together by appearing at a Book Festival and selling their books and other merchandise to help raise funds for the Pleasant Grove Library. There will be author readings, door prizes, music, and more! All the proceeds from the evening will go toward the library and its programs.

Some of the authors that will be appearing: Rachel Ann Nunes, J. Scott Savage, Julie Coulter Bellon, Tristi Pinkston, Julie Wright, GG Vandagriff, Suzanne V. Reese, H.B. Moore, Christy Hardman, Jewel Adams, Rebecca Shelley, Elodia Strain, Anne Bradshaw, Jaime Theler, and Stacy Gooch Anderson.

If any of you are in the area, I’d love to meet you or have you meet your favorite author and get your books signed. And please pass the word along for this worthy cause.
