Manager Comments:

I have a few questions about this program: 1) What items are you planning for the book display? The 1st book in the series currently has a holds list, so I don't want you to be caught off guard if that's still the case. 2) 3 reference desk staff are listed. Is the plan for all of you to be in the room during this event, or are the duties spread? 3) Out of curiosity, what are other locations planning, if you know?
