The doors to the exhibit halls at BookExpo America (BEA), one of the biggest shows of the year, open on May 30, and School Library Journal  has prepared a special free guidebook, the 2013 BEA Guide to ARCs & Signings, for its readers. Designed to be an essential road map to the event, the guide aims to help library professionals navigate the more than 1,000 booths and the hundreds of author signings scheduled throughout the weekend. It includes publishers’ booth numbers, times and locations of book signings both in booths and in autograph areas, a list of ARC and book giveaways, and the buzz on a few hot new titles being featured this year. The guide also includes previews and descriptions of all the new children’s and young adult book releases, making it a resource for non-attendees as well.
