PLEASE NOTE: Books are available first come, first to receive, while supplies last. One book per person per drop. Holding a place in line for others will not be allowed. RSVP to as many drops as desired on Eventbrite to show you are interested and receive reminders! Registering does not guarantee you a book, however.
