How does the entry line form?
A sign in book will be placed inside the library, at the bottom of the stairs, promptly at 2:00 PM Monday, April 9th. The first person in line at that time is the first person to sign in, second person in line signs in, etc. Print YOUR NAME (ONLY) clearly so we can read it. IF your spouse, family member or friend wants to come, they must sign themselves in. At apprx. 4:45pm names will be called for the lineup down the ramp for entry at 5 pm.  This process enables you to wait in your car or go get a cup of coffee, etc and not have to stand in line for hours.
