Suzanne Collins
Author of the Hunger Games trilogy
is coming to Children's Book World!
September 22, 2010 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

We are thrilled to welcome SUZANNE COLLINS, author of 2010's most anticipated book...Mockingjay!

In Order To Attend, Please Read the Following Information Carefully:

• In order to meet Suzanne Collins, you must purchase your copy of Mockingjay at Children's Book World.
• CBW's copies are specially marked for this appearance. Stop in or call us to pre-order your copy! (Mockingjay's official release date is 8/24/10.)
• This is a first-come, first-served event. Suzanne will make every attempt to meet as many fans as possible in the time allotted. No line numbers or tickets will be distributed for this event.
• Weather-appropriate clothing is encouraged as the line will begin outside the front door and will wrap around the building.
• There will be no presentation by the author.
• Due to an existing hand strain, rather than signing books, Suzanne will stamp each book with a custom-made stamp created exclusively for fall 2010 Mockingjay events only. There will be no actual signing at any events.
• She will stamp ONE copy of Mockingjay per customer and will not be able to personalize.
• Photographs are allowed, but customers may not individually pose with Suzanne Collins.

Summer Reading Program
begins June 1st

Do your children love to read? Want to review? Would they like to have the scoop on new books before they are published? We need their help! Every summer we invite our young customers to borrow uncorrected proofs of books that will be released during the upcoming fall season. Every time a child helps us by submitting a review, he or she will receive a $1.00 store credit. At the end of the summer, credits are tallied and children can make a purchase with what they earned.

This program began June 1st, and continues through the end of August. If you have a child who is interested in participating, please stop by CBW to sign up and select a book to borrow and enjoy.

(This program is intended for readers from elementary school through high school. One book may be borrowed per child at a time. Please return each borrowed book after 2 weeks to allow others the chance to read and review.)

A Reminder for All Author Events at Children's Book World:
Due to time constraints, only books purchased at Children's Book World will be signed. If you cannot attend a signing, but would like to purchase books for personalization, please call us at 610-642-6274 to make arrangements.
