Given the high level of enthusiasm surrounding this event, organizers have extended the signing hours until 4 PM to ensure that everyone has a chance to meet Katie and have their books autographed. This extension reflects the community’s excitement and the significant demand for this rare opportunity.

For those unable to attend the event at the James Memorial Art Center, Books on Broadway is offering a special service: customers can call ahead to reserve a specific number of copies to be signed by Ledecky. These reserved books can be picked up at a later date, giving everyone the chance to own a signed copy, even if they can’t make it on August 31.

Katie Ledecky's connection to Williston is particularly meaningful, as her family, especially her grandmother Kathleen, is excited and eagerly anticipating this visit. The event is more than just a book signing; it's a celebration of a local hero’s incredible achievements and a chance for the community to come together.

Mark your calendars for this special day. Whether you're a longtime admirer of Ledecky's accomplishments or new to her story, this event is not to be missed.

Join Williston in welcoming Katie Ledecky on August 31 for what promises to be an unforgettable experience. Remember, the event will be at the James Memorial Art Center from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm!
