Happy Valentine's Day everyone! If there is one thing I love more than flowers & chocolates, it is The Florida Antiquarian Book Fair! It has books, supports libraries, and it was the place where I sold my very first literary purse back in 2012. I am so honored that this year they have asked me to be their official spokesperson to help promote literacy throughout Tampa Bay.
Incorporating this year’s 'Pages of Wonder' theme celebrating the enduring charm and influence of
children’s literature, I will utilize the weeks leading up to the fair to unite the
community thru interviews with local book lovers and appearances at some of my favorite hot spots, which will then be incorporated into a series of online videos.
The Florida Antiquarian Book Fair is the oldest and largest fair of its kind in the Southeastern United
States and features more than one hundred specialized dealers from all over the
country. Visitors will find books
of every age and about every conceivable topic, with additional materials
including maps, prints, postcards, ephemera, autographs and other paper
collectibles. And if things couldn't get any better, I will also have a booth where my literary fashions and accessories at StandUpLibrarianDesigns.com will be available for all of you!
For more information and to enjoy my video interviews leading up to the fair, please visit www.FloridaBooksellers.com and of course, I'm sure to keep you up to date here at www.StandUpLibrarian.com!
