Make plans now to attend the 2010 Book 'Em Event, to be held on Saturday, October 16, 2010 from 9:30AM to 4:30PM at the Kate Collins Middle School in Waynesboro, Virginia.

This ground-breaking Book Fair highlighting the connection between illiteracy and high crime rates features dozens of authors who will be signing their books and giving talks on writing, the publishing industry, and other topics of interest throughout the day.

Author sign ups have just started. We will update the author appearing pages soon!

Books of all types and genres are included, such as historical, non-fiction, mystery, romance, suspense/thrillers, fantasy, horror, true crime, and children's books, ranging from preschool books through the teen years.

Every author in attendance will have their books available to purchase and they can be personally autographed. Click on "Authors Appearing" to see the authors who will be in attendance.

There will be thousands of books at Book 'Em. Something is here for everyone!

Admittance to the annual book event is free. The proceeds from the sale of the books goes to organizations dedicated to increasing literacy rates, decreasing crime rates, helping police solve crimes, and raising public awareness of the link between high illiteracy rates and high crime rates. The various events have benefited the following organizations: Central Shenandoah Crime Stoppers, Friends of the Library from Waynesboro, Staunton, and Augusta County, Shenandoah Valley Reading Council, Waynesboro School District, Staunton School District, Augusta County School District and other school districts in Virginia and elsewhere.
