Mark your calendars and get ready to welcome local author Sam Hendrix on August 13 at 2 pm.

Sam is the author of the local phenomenon, Auburn: A History in Street Names. Now in its second printing, the book is a comprehensive look at the history of the City of Auburn as told though its street names.

Auburn: A History in Street Names makes a terrific present, and it's a figt that supports a great cause. Proceeds from book sales fund an endowment at the university to provide academic camp scholarships for Auburn Youth Programs. The "camperships," which cover costs of registration, on-campus lodging and meals, provide the opportunity for local youth to attend weeklong academic summer camps at the university.

Sam will be signing Auburn: A History in Street Names at Auburn Oil Co. Booksellers on Saturday, Aubust 13, 2-4 p.m. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
