Fruitport Library

 Today was a vendor event at the Fruitport Library. They really do a nice thing for authors. The tables are free for the first 12 who sign up. They have free coffee and provide free lunch (taco bar from Qdobas).

It was held in conjunction with the Friends of the Library used book sale.

There were tons of book options (and CDs and DVDs). The Friends did an amazing job of sorting their offerings, including a special holiday section and gift packages.

In my experience, books-only events don't usually pull in enough traffic. I thought maybe having it organized by a library would change that. Well, not really.

But, I've got no complaints. I had additional ideas for the day... take a hike afterwards (I thought it lasted until 3, but it was really 4), so there wasn't enough time to do that before dark. I thought I'd get some groceries on the way home, but I didn't bother.

Bottom line... I met a lot of new-to-me authors, sold a few books, but came home tired. I'm going to chill with a book because I have to be back out the door in the morning for bell choir.
