The kids and I loved hearing from author W. Bruce Cameron today. It may have been the longest book signing line we've had!

[Julie McGary @Bolin_Library]

If you purchased a W. Bruce Cameron book for the author to sign, bring it to school on Tuesday, Sept. 9th! You can also see him at the Watters Creek Barnes & Noble tonight from 6-8PM.
