Great White Sharks Swimming to the Doylestown Library

Great white sharks will 'attack' the Doylestown library on Saturday.

Children's author and Bucks County resident Debbie Dadey will host a special program to celebrate the release of her newest book. The latest in her "Mermaid Tales" series, "Danger in the Deep Blue Sea" finds main character Pearl stirring up trouble after sharks are sighted in Trident City.

Dadey, who lives in Furlong with her husband, three children, and dogs Bailey, Skip and Shadow, will read from the book, which goes on sale on Jan. 29.

The free program runs from 1 to 2 p.m. in the Pearl Buck Room of the library on Pine Street. Light refreshments will be served and the entire family is welcome.

Dadey has authored or co-authored 152 children’s books, including The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids series. To learn more, visit her website at http://www.debbiedadey.com/

Dadey is the first speaker in a series of free community programs sponsored by the Friends of the Library. The programs are financed by the Friends’ annual book sale, which raised more than $9,000 this fall, despite being closed for three days due to Superstorm Sandy.
