Meet Author Sandy Asher -Monday October 6 at 6:30 pm


We are thrilled to host author Sandy Asher on Monday, October 6 at 6:30 pm. She is the author of many great books for both children and teens including, Too Many Frogs, What a Party, On Her Way, and Dude! Stories and Stuff for Boys.

I was lucky to meet her before and she is very nice and her reading of Too Many Frogs was hysterical.

Her books will be for sale and she will be doing autographs. It's not too early to start thinking of the holidays and books make great gifts!
