The 6th Annual Girl's Night Out was held last night at the Jewish Public Library, with Sara Shepard, author of the wildly popoular 'Pretty Little Liars' books and television series. The Gelber Center was filled to capacity with tween and teen readers who greeted the author enthusiastically, along with their friends, sisters, mothers, aunts and librarians. Delicious munchies kept the energy level in the room high while the author engaged the audience with tales of her own teenage years, which form the inspiration for her 'Little Liars' characters. She also read from her upcoming mystery novel, 'The Lying Game', which will be coming out next month. Many girls lined up to ask questions about Sara Shepard's life, work and career and she answered with humour and patience, hoping to inspire these young women to read and to write, as she herself had been at the same age by author Lois Duncan's mysteries. Fabulous door prizes were handed out during the evening and each and everyone left with a goody bag. Special GNO certificates were distributed to all participants inviting them to join the JPL at a great discount. It was a great event and we look forward to next year's author, Ally Carter!
