Robert Jordan (1) [1948–2007]

Monday, June 3, 7 p.m.

New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson will read from and sign his first young adult book, The Rithmatist at Provo Library.

The event is free, but tickets are required. Call the library at 801-852-6661 for ticket information. Directions to the Library

“The Rithmatist, while it’s definitely as clear and exciting as a YA novel should be, is every bit as deep and richly invented as the best of Sanderson’s adult novels” says Orson Scott Card, award-winning science fiction author.

Sanderson grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. He teaches creative writing at Brigham Young University and lives in Utah with his wife and children. He is the author of several epic fantasy novels, including the Mistborn series, its followup The Alloy of Law, Warbreaker, and The Way of Kings. He was chosen to complete Robert Jordan’s bestselling Wheel of Time series.

Please join theoretical physicist Lee Smolin as he discusses his latest book, Time Reborn, a radical new approach to cosmology that embraces the reality of time and opens up a whole new universe of possibilities. There are a few ideas that, like our notion of time, shape our thinking about literally everything, with major implications for physics and beyond from climate change to the economic crisis. Smolin explains in lively and lucid prose how the true nature of time impacts our world.

Lee Smolin is a leading pioneer in the field of quantum gravity and cosmology. He is the author of more than 100 scientific papers and three popular books, Life of the Cosmos, Three Roads to Quantum Gravity and The Trouble with Physics.

We are thrilled to announce that we will be part of BRANDON SANDERSON'S tour in support of the final book in the Wheel of Time series, A Memory Of Light.

Please note: to ensure enough room for all, we have partnered with the Amato Center in Milford to host the event. Visit their website for information: www.amatocenter.org OR www.svbgc.org. This event is free and open to all. No tickets required. Please read below.

SIGNING PROTOCOL: FAQs answered. Brandon will sign 3 books per trip through the line. He will only sign books he has written. Due to the large number of people expected, Brandon will sign books for people who wish only a signature first (form line 1), followed by those wishing to have theirs signed & personalized (form line 2). Post-its will be provided for personalizations to be written legibly & exactly as you want it. Brandon reserves the right to refuse any request he doesn't feel comfortable with, including body parts. Photos with Brandon - yes - Be prepared to sit next to, or crouch down next to him, and remember time is of the essence.

*From Brandon's website: "As I said, I've requested that the signings all be open to anyone. Please be respectful and realize one of the reasons that places like Amazon can give you the books so cheaply is that they don't have to maintain or pay rent on expensive storefronts in retail areas. Support your local booksellers; it's because of them that we can have signing events. If possible, I'd ask that you go and buy the book from the store where you're planning to see me. And even if you don't buy your copy of AMoL at the signing, it's nice to support the store hosting me by buying at least one book (by any author) while you're there." We agree!

**PLEASE NOTE: A Memory Of Light is discounted at our stores 30% ($24.49) until the first of February. So hurry to purchase your book(s) in advance and SAVE! Feel free to contact us to reserve a book for you. Thank you for your support and cooperation in advance.We're looking forward to a smooth and trouble-free event!
