Tips & Advice

  • Have each attendee bring a ticket, printed or on a phone, because entry to the event space is limited to ticketholders.
  • Arrive in time for check-in, which starts at 10:30 a.m., and be on time to improve your chance of securing a seat.
  • Keep your phone ready for the posed Grinch photo; a bookseller takes the picture using the guest's own phone.
  • If you cannot attend, contact the store to arrange pickup, since books are held for seven days after the event.
  • Plan for posed photos after storytime, rather than before, as photo opportunities take place once the reading ends.
