Snippets and Sneak Peeks Event: Winter Edition

QoR8Bv1S2SEqH6UcSJCA_TeaCalling all book lovers!On January 12th, prepare to surround yourself with yummy books and a cozy cup of coffee with colleagues. Free event. Hosted by CMLE, ITEM, and staff of Barnes & Noble.

Join us for one hour of solid gold book talks (snippets and sneak peeks of new titles).  Selections will cover a variety of genres including pre-k thru grade 12, and adult books that would be age appropriate for teens too. Please send your email reservation.  Trouble with embedded link? Send to admin@cmle.org. All are welcome, but a headcount is needed to ensure enough materials and refreshments.

Location:     St. Cloud Barnes and Noble store, (3940 Division St, St Cloud, MN 56301)
Date:             Tuesday, January 12, 2016

3:30 – 4:00      Social time, light refreshments, and meet the authors
4:00 – 5:00      Book Talks (includes short previews by authors Jackie Lea Sommers (Truest),     Kristin D. Van Risseghem (The Guardian, a Sword & Stilettos), and Aimee Bissonette (Northwoods Girl)
5:00 –            Social time with colleagues and authors and shopping

Tip: Check with your employer to see if they have already set up a B&N Institutional Account or a B&N Educator Discount Card. No? During this event, educators from Pre-K through grade 12 can sign up for a free Educator Card and receive 25% off their personal and school purchases. Why? Our event falls within Educator Appreciation Week!

Did you know that B & N does book fairs? This may be especially helpful to area high schools.

Note: Some of you may already have B & N Educator Discount Cards and may receive a B & N  invitation to another similar event at 6 pm. Because B & N usually hosts its own separate “educator” event during  Educator Appreciation Week, the authors mentioned above for our book talk event will stay for slightly longer presentations at a B & N event from 6:00 – 7:00 pm which will include an audience beyond library personnel. This event will include the same book talks covered in our earlier event.
