Teens + Authors x Lots of Planning = Success!

Our first ever teen book extravaganza was a hit! When it comes to events at the library, I have learned there is no happy medium. There is only one extreme (no one shows up or even worse 1 person does) or the other extreme (so many people you are breaking fire codes and turning angry people away). So to have an event where the perfect amount of people show up is a rare and precious thing. To add in an event that goes off without a hitch which is enjoyed by young and old; and particpants and authors alike is shear perfection. Now if only we can replicate it next year. Because that is the other law of library programs: just because it was successful once does not mean it will be again.
