TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3557: Thanks to my wife, Tina LoSasso, for posting news of this upcoming event yesterday at her own Facebook Fan Page for her business, Make It So Marketing Inc.! Tina conducts online book launches for authors, as well as other promotions, including social media campaigns, so she is more aware of what is happening in the 'book world' than I am. Quite honestly, I wasn't aware of this 'Day', even though I'm made aware of several special 'Days' each year by Facebook Friends and other industry members in comics! So, this is going to be a short blog today, so that you can read more about this event on the Day's own web site, and see their own Facebook group page. First, what's this all about? Here's what the web site has: "Bookstores hold a place in the hearts and times of our community. They are places to discover an author, a story, a life. Nothing affords the conversation and interaction among books and book lovers that a bookstore does. In the future, whether you download your story or pluck a volume off a shelf, a bookstore will be able to accommodate. But in order for bookstores to flourish and thrive, we must expose future generations to the unique pleasures they offer. On December 3rd, 2011, take the child in your life to a bookstore. Watch his face light up as you give him free access, not just to a new book, but to tomorrow." —Jenny Milchman Sounds like fun! So, Tina and I will be taking my youngest child to a bookstore in our area. On the world map with the names & addresses of the bookstores that are participating, as seen here, there are three stores in our immediate area that are celebrating this 2nd Annual celebration. They are Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego, Warwick's in La Jolla, and The Book Works in Del Mar. Hopefully there is one in your area to attend?! The web site for the 'Take Your Child To A Bookstore' is seen here. Plus there is a Facebook group page, that you can read what is going on. There are currently 149 members in this 'open group'. I'm not for sure of the criteria to be accepted into the group as of this blog posting. I just sent in my request for acceptance. Plus, the founder of this special day, Jenny Milchman, has her own web site, as seen here, that you can check out further. I believe I've covered the links that will transport you to this relatively new event day. Feel free to let me know what you found near your city should you decide to participate, at my own Facebook Fan Page, 'Michael D Hamersky On Comics', where I also cover books about comics, graphic novels, and TPBs (trade paperbacks), as well as comic books! ~Michael D Hamersky On Comics!
