When you first enter the library, you will immediately notice an adequate sized table set-up in which you can register your attendance at the auction and can show off your "Favorite Book Character" costume. You're encouraged to take one of the "Hello, my name is ..." stickers on the table, write your name and stick it to your shirt. At this table is also where you can drop off book and galleon donations for the library reconstruction. Remember, adults must donate five galleons or a book to get in; students must donate 8 sickles or a book.

At a second table, perpendicular to the main one, is a table for members of press to sign in and check their equipment.

If you are a guest, make sure you smile; you never know when one of those press people will snap your photo and you'll want to make sure it's your good side!
