Toby W., Library Associate at Murphy-Wilmot Library, attends the Tucson Festival of Books every year. He moderates panels, hobnobs with authors, collects signed bookmarks, and brightens the Festival experience for everyone who encounters him in his tie-dye T-shirt.
This year Toby collected signatures at Adam Rex's Illustrator Draw-off, and the Masters of the Supernatural horror authors panel, in addition to visiting author Scott Turow, poet T.C. Tolbert, and many others. Check out Toby's photos of this year's excellent signed bookmark collection! Click to view larger images.
