The World Science Fiction Convention is gearing up for a week filled with book discussions, art exhibits, a Masquerade and many more activities that are far out of this world. The group thought there was no better way to kick-off their 69th WorldCon than hosting a FREE book signing event for the Reno Tahoe community! In order to give the public an opportunity to meet some of their favorite authors at no cost, the group has made arrangements with the Washoe County Library – Sierra View for a book signing event on Wednesday, August 17.
