Kirby Larson's book launch

Fetch a friend and come to Third Place Books in Lake Forest Park on Sunday, September 15! At 5:30 p.m., you can help Kirby Larson celebrate the launch of her latest book, Duke, a WWII story about a boy who loans his beloved dog to Uncle Sam. You'll learn about Dogs for Defense, which recruited thousands of family pets; hear a short reading; and enjoy doggy-themed refreshments and swag.

But wait! There's more.

Third Place Books is generously donating 10 percent of the evening's book sales to Reading with Rover, a nonprofit organization that encourages struggling readers by pairing them up with a patient, four-legged listener. And you'll be able to meet a real Reading with Rover team! Contact Kirby for more info or to RSVP (not necessary but appreciated).
