Ways and Means

​

• The library and The Open Book will provide space and author name tags. Authors are responsible for providing their own tables, chairs, tents, decorations, table coverings, book easels, pamphlets, bookmarks, etc.

• Authors are responsible for setting up and tearing down their own booth.

• Only those authors who have received confirmation of participation from the library or The Open Book will be permitted to set up, display or sell their materials. Only materials directly related to an author’s published works may be sold or displayed.

• All sales will be made directly through participating authors, who will provide books to sell, money box (including change), receipts, etc. Any taxes, if applicable, will be the responsibility of the authors.
