The Pants @ Hillsboro

Well-- the high school librarian and I got together and had everything well advertised, the room all set up with candles and a blanket, lots of goodies to eat, music, games to play, etc. and then only had one person show up- and she was more or less corralled into it! But- we still managed to have some fun. Of course, the next day we had girls come in and ask if they missed it! So we had several more signatures added after the "Pants Party", and mailed our pair off to Pillsbury.

Word seems also to have gotten around that the fourth book was disappointing, and that may have made a celebration seem a little too anticlimactic. I also wonder if the wave of popularity the books were riding on has ebbed- at least here. We have had very few requests for the book.

So, overall, a disappointing response to a great idea.
