One of our missions here at Hawaii Book Blog is to help promote local literacy events such as book fairs, library programs and book signings. We enjoy going to these and want to ensure that as many people out there know when and where these events are taking place.
This past Saturday, November 20th, there were more book signings and major literary happenings than we’ve seen in a long time. We tried our best to make a schedule and attend as many of these events as possible and thought we’d sum up our exploits for you with a photo gallery!
Book Events 11/20/10
Following the Daughters of Hawaii Book Day, we came back to Barnes & Noble Ala Moana for a double Bess Press book signing. Here is Tony Clapes, the author of a new graphic novel Tropica, posing for a photo during his book signing at Barnes & Noble Ala Moana.
Tony Clapes was a Non-Partisan candidate for Governor this past election cycle and has many passionate and interesting ideas on government that are reflected in his book.
He is helping to get his illustrator, Yishan Li (not pictured), into Kawaii Kon this year. You can check out her talented work here.
We hope this inspires you to attend a literary event in the future to help support our local authors, illustrators and publishers!
To keep up to date with literary events, follow us on Twitter and Facebook, read our Book End posts every Friday morning highlighting the weekend’s literary/library events, and consistently check out our Event Calendar where we try to post all the events happening every day.
