Betty Birney

We found out about the world according to a furry little hamster named Humphrey. But what does Humphrey think about friendship, and trouble and surprises? Find out as we welcome Betty Birney to kick-off the 2008 - 2009 Battle of the Books! Students, parents and teachers, and anyone interested in hearing and meeting a hamster's favorite author are invited to either the 10 AM or 2 PM program.

Following the program, Barnes and Noble will sell copies of Ms. Birney's books, which she will sign, along with our Battle Book selections. They do accept credit cards.

Battle Books will be available for check-out after 3 pm Saturday, November 15. Attendees of the 10 am program will be able to check out Battle books immediately following that program.
