Inside Story is our region's biannual celebration of new books. It was started in 1999 by Laura Kvasnosky and George Shannon. Their goal was to create a community of people who share a love of children's books -- writers, booksellers, teachers and librarians.
Mark your calendars for our Fall 2017 Inside Story, to be held on Saturday, November 4, 2017 at the downtown Bellevue Library (1111 110th Ave. NE) from 2:00pm until 4:00pm.
* Meet and greet local authors and illustrators.
* Hear 2-minute "behind the scenes" stories from each author or illustrator.
* Answer trivia questions and win prizes.
* Purchase autographed books.
* Mingle with your fellow children's book lovers.
