The one-month countdown to IFOA began with the headline-grabbing announcement that J.K Rowling, the world's wealthiest and most well-known author, would be making one stop in Canada this fall, and that stop would be at YoungIFOA on October 23. But you can't buy tickets ... they are available only through an online sweepstake at www.raincoast.com/harry potter or through allocation by the Ontario Library Association (OLA). Harry Potter fans from across Canada will get the chance to hear a reading from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, put questions to Ms Rowling, and to take home a signed complimentary copy of the book. Thank you Raincoast Books. Thank you OLA. It's going to be a YoungIFOA to remember!
