"The Ninja Librarian" author event Saturday, June 9th, 2-4pm!



Florey's Books welcomes local author Rebecca Douglass as she discusses her new young adult novel "The Ninja Librarian".

***Saturday, June 9th, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

The Ninja Librarian is a humorous set of tall tales set in the highly fictional gold-country town of Skunk Corners. It’s the story of a dusty, tough, unfriendly town that gets a new outlook on life thanks to the advent of the Ninja Librarian—a mild-mannered librarian who offers his wisdom with a little extra when folks don’t listen. The stories appeal to readers of all ages, from middle-elementary to adult and beyond.

About the Author:

Rebecca Douglass mostly resides in Daly City, California, with her husband and two teenaged sons. Her imagination resides where it pleases, in and out of this world. After a decade of working at the Westlake library, she is still learning the secrets of the Ninja Librarian. Ms. Douglass is a long-time volunteer at the schools, including most recently at Oceana H.S. in Pacifica, and serves on the Jefferson Elementary School Board.
