Bestselling children's author Jeff Kinney is kicking off a West Coast tour, doing game-show like contests for kids to raise money for struggling libraries
Imagine a game show where kids and librarians are the big winners — and instead of lifetime supplies of Turtle Wax, they can score free books and support for local libraries. “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” author Jeff Kinney is celebrating the publication of “No Brainer,” his 18th book in the series, with a traveling game show that will visit 13 bookstores along the West Coast and provide books, financial support and some getaways for lucky librarians. The tour kicks off Oct. 23 in San Diego.
“Libraries are really suffering and librarians are at the frontline of the culture wars, and so we thought it would be a good idea to celebrate libraries and librarians on this tour,” he said. Kinney has sold an estimated 275 million books worldwide. He said that some of his books have occasionally been challenged, but he’s much more concerned that books by people of color and the LGBTQ community are being targeted. “My books have been banned here and there but it’s not that prevalent.
