Sunday, June 16, part 2

Back to the exhibit hall for my first Clarion signing. As I got near the booth, I passed what I thought was a long conga line . . . it turned out to be people waiting for my signing, good grief! What a treat to meet librarians from all over the country; I loved finding out where they were from and only wish I could have spent more time chatting.

Editor Dinah Stevenson and my parents at the exhibit hall.

Signing. From left, my mom, my dad, me, my sister Julie Hubble, and Marjorie Naughton, Clarion's director of marketing, partially hidden behind a customer who is buying LOTS of books!

The signing finished at 3:30; back to the hotel for a little rest, then spiffying-up for the Newbery-Caldecott banquet. Gulp.
