✏️ HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE EVENT:
Create!
Whether it’s a picture book, short story, comic, flip book, or a collection of poems—anything goes. Get to writing, be creative, and have fun!

Make copies.
Books can be handwritten (and any size), photocopied, or printed at home—whatever works best! Staple them together, spiral bind them, or sew them with a sewing machine—however you'd like. Just be sure to have a few copies ready to sell. (If you plan to have copies made, we suggest printing with JMart in Spanish Fork.)

Join us for setup.
Arrive at the store on Saturday, June 21st at 9:30 AM with your books that are ready to sell!
