PERTH AMBOY — Artie Bennett, a children’s author of The Butt Book and Poopendous will be at the satellite site of the Perth Amboy Free Public Library on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 11 a.m.

The Friends of the Perth Amboy Free Public Library are proud to announce their hosting of their first author visit to the Perth Amboy Free Public Library. To “encourage the love of reading and independent learning” is just one of what “Friends of Libraries” do.

Artie Bennett, a children’s author of The Butt Book and Poopendous will be at the satellite site of the Perth Amboy Free Public Library on Wednesday, August 7, 2013 at 11 a.m. His books are funny, informative and well reviewed and geared toward 3 to 6 year old children. His books will be available for sale and autographing. Barbara Sottilaro, a retired school librarian, met Mr. Bennett at a New Jersey Association of School Librarians conference and purchased his books for her grandson who loved them.

While the event is free, due to limited space, we are asking parents to register their intention to attend so that they and their children can be accommodated comfortably. Please call Barbara at 732-826-9466 or Linda at 732-826-6794.
