This weekend Gene and I begin our Spring Tour: 8 events in 2 months! We hope to see you at one or more of them!

We start out with a fast-paced trip to the heartland:

• On Apr 13 we’ll be at the Joplin, MO Public Library. At 2pm we’re speaking to the public about Graphic Novels, and at 6:15pm we’re presenting Funny Thing to the staff.
• The next day, Apr 14, we’ll be at the annual conference of the Missouri Association of School Librarians in Osage Beach. At 1:30pm we’ll do a little retrospective on the history of Unshelved, and at 7pm we’ll present Funny Thing.
• On Apr 16 we’ll present Surviving the Public to the supervisory staff of the St. Louis County, MO Library

After a short home stay we’ll hit the road again. While Bill travels across the entire country, Gene stays close to home but then leaves the country entirely.

• On Apr 25 Gene will present Surviving the Public at the banquet dinner of the WLA/OLA Joint Conference in Vancouver, WA
• Meanwhile, from Apr 25-27, Jana and I will be in Ft. Worth TX at Texas Library Association Booth 1146
• Then I head on to Orlando, FLA, where I’ll overdose on Disney for a few days and then speak on May 3 to the Florida Library Association. At 9am I’ll do Funny Thing as a breakout session, then at the closing lunch I’ll be presenting a custom comic strip I’ll draw based on one or more library stories contributed by the conference attendees. Should be fun!
• On May 11-12 Gene will be at Toronto Comics & Arts Festival, where he’ll have a table and do some talks (details forthcoming).

Finally, Gene and I reunite for one last dose of Surviving the Public at BookExpo America (date and time forthcoming).
