The Children's Book Festival 2008

I had the opportunity to help at a children's book festival at the library on Saturday.  I didn't really know anything about it but I was recruited to be a volunteer.  And of course I said yes because I love, love, love books!  When I got there, to my surprise and great excitement, I found out that two of my favorite young adult authors were going to be there and do some Q&A's and panels and book signings.  I was able to get some books signed and meet the authors.  It was fun to meet them and see that they were just normal, fun people!
