<P class=MsoNormal>Dear Northwest Librarians,<o:p></o:p></P>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association again invites
you to attend our fall show, which will again be held at the Holiday Inn at the
Portland
Airport, Thursday through Saturday, September 10 - 12. Last year we offered educational sessions for librarians on the first day of exhibits, and found that that schedule was not attractive to librarians, who were as interested in the exhibits as the booksellers were. This year, we are offering education aimed at librarians on the same day as the education for booksellers, Thursday, Sept 10, from 8:00 am (the basic intro for First-timers) until 5:15 pm.
The education schedule for the day is posted on our web site <A
href="http://www.pnba.org/fallshow09/EdPrelim09.pdf">here</A>. Please remember
that, although we do have one room set aside for education that we thought might
most be of interest to librarians, <SPAN style="COLOR: #f8100f">everyone who
attends the show is welcome to attend any sessions that you would like</SPAN>.
For instance, we believe that the 2:30 session in Salon A, "Edelweiss:
Interactive, On-line Publisher Catalogs," with John Rubin, the founder of Above
the Treeline, may be as important and informative to librarians as it is to
booksellers, and we urge your appropriate staff to consider attending. We expect
fewer and fewer publishers to produce and mail catalogs every
year.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>The show will also feature a terrific line-up of national and
regional authors, and you are encouraged to attend as many of those author
events as you would like. The complete show schedule is posted <A
href="http://www.pnba.org/fallshow09/F09FullSchedPrelim.pdf">here</A>, with the
lists of authors who will speak at the Breakfasts, and the general show <A
href="http://www.pnba.org/show.htm">page</A> on our site has links to pdfs
of all of the author events and their schedules. We hope you will join us to
hear the <A href="http://www.pnba.org/fallshow09/Celeb09.pdf">Celebration
of Authors </A>on Thursday at lunch and to pick up copies of those authors
new books immediately after the presentations, and join us at the
opening <A
href="http://www.pnba.org/fallshow09/Nightcapper09.pdf">Nightcapper</A> Party
that evening, which is free to all show attendees. One of the favorite events at
the show is the Friday night <A
href="http://www.pnba.org/fallshow09/FeastSched09.pdf">Feast</A> of
Authors, in which twenty authors move from table to table throughout your meal,
discussing their new books, so that people at each table sit personally with six
authors during the event. At the end of the event, every bookseller and
librarian attending receives a bag of books containing a selection of signed
copies of the books discussed by the authors at the
Feast, with at least a dozen signed books in every bag.
<SPAN style="COLOR: #f8100f">All author events at the show feature free signed
books or advanced readers editions given to attendees of the
events.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P
class=MsoNormal>On Saturday after the Book & Author Breakfast, on the floor of
the exhibits we will also have volunteers helping booksellers and
librarians set up their own blogs, Facebook and/or Twitter accounts, and even
helping you produce your own, short introductory video about your library and
post it on YouTube for use on your library's web site.<o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P></DIV>
<DIV>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 12pt" class=MsoNormal>If
any of this sounds like it might be helpful to you or any of
your staff, we hope that you will encourage them to join us in Portland for the
fall show. You may register for the show using the <A
href="http://www.pnba.org/fallshow09/F09AttendeeReg.pdf">form</A> posted on
our web site, and pay your library membership on that form. If your library
joins PNBA, then up to FOUR people from your library may attend the show for
free. <SPAN class=apple-style-span><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt">The most
efficient way to make a room reservation at our host hotel is to use the on-line
registration form posted on our tradeshow web <A
href="http://www.pnba.org/show.htm"><SPAN
style="COLOR: #0000f6">page</SPAN></A>. Click the logo for the Holiday Inn on
the upper right of the page, fill in only the dates that you want to stay
overnight, click the "check availability" button on the lower right, and you
will be offered the room choices. Our group rate of $99/night plus tax (with
free parking!) will be available only through Friday, August 28, or until the
rooms are sold out.</SPAN></SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
