Educator Savings Week at Borders

I was walking through the Quaker Crossing Borders in Orchard Park yesterday when I heard this announcement:

Teachers, librarians, homeschoolers, professors and other educators, join us for food, fun and prizes during our Special Reception, Friday, April 4 from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM at Borders stores.

I called today and found out that Tom Colson, author of A Girl Named Pants, will be signing books from 6-8. He will be accompanied by the actual girl named Pants. The 25% discount is being offered all week, with 4/4 being the last day.
