Readers’ Recess is a fun refreshment break designed to help you bring out the kids, middle schoolers, and young adults in your bookselling audience. Four children’s book/YA authors/illustrators will each have the stage for 10 minutes to give booksellers ideas for how to promote your book in their stores. Please arrive at 3:30 pm to pre-sign your books and meet with the Emcee and Event Coordinator to go over last-minute details, confirm speaking order, and help to set up AV as needed. If you need to pre-sign the books at another time please let us know in advance and we can arrange a time.

Your badges and meal tickets will be held under your last name at the PNBA registration desk, which will be open during the times noted on our Show Schedule.
