The local Star Trek club (U.S.S. Serling) is running a fundraiser to help out our local literacy group Literacy Volunteers of Broome/Tioga Counties this coming November 20th-24th. If you intend to buy any books from Barnes & Noble either at your local store or online--for yourself or perhaps as a gift in the coming gift-giving season--I'd ask that you wait and buy them in-store or online during that 5 day stretch, since a percentage of the purchase will be donated to the literacy group. Here's how you can help:
1. Go to your local Barnes and Noble and load up on books . . . or go online to www.bn.com/bookfairs and load up on books.
2. At checkout (either in-store or online), let the cashier know about the Bookfair ID#: 10600476, or click the box online during the checkout process to indicate that the order is part of the bookfair (the directions for how to do that are at the link to the Barnes & Noble site above).
3. Pay for the books and enjoy them (or enjoy giving them away)!
It's that simple. A percentage is then accumulated and sent to the literacy group.
To kick off the event, three authors--Nancy Holzner, Chris Moriarty, and Joshua Palmatier/Benjamin Tate--are doing a signing at the Vestal Barnes & Noble this coming Sunday, November 20th, from 1-4pm, in Vestal, NY. We'll be there promoting the fundraiser and signing copies of our books. No matter where you are, please take a moment to check out our books and, perhaps, add them to your stack. The official flyer for the entire event can be found here. (Can anyone see the bookfair flyer when they click this link? It's a pdf file, but when I click it I get nothing.)
So hold off on that book buying for just a few days and help fight illiteracy! And help spread the word about the event. Link back to this post or send the flyer on to your friends!
