Love Monster & The Perfect Present Storytime – On Tuesday, November 18, at 11 a.m., Barnes & Noble Corte Madera will feature author Rachel Bright’s adorable story about a cute, furry creature trying to find the perfect present for the monster he thinks “is the most perfect monster in the world.” This story about friendship and the fact that a gift does not have to cost the earth to mean the world is sure to become a new holiday favorite. Participants will also enjoy crafts and activities.
Elf on the Shelf Storytime & Elf Adoption Event – On Saturday, November 29 at 11a.m., Barnes & Noble Corte Madera will host a Storytime event featuring The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition. Have you ever wondered how Santa knows who is naughty and who is nice? The Elf on the Shelf helps Santa know. This interactive holiday hide-and-seek tradition is perfect for children and families of all ages. Barnes & Noble Corte Madera will also host an Elf adoption event to pair customers with their very own Elf. Customers can name their Elf, complete an adoption certificate and register their adoption online.
At these events, customers can also discover the new Elf Pets: A Reindeer Tradition. Just in time for Christmas, this new story allows children to bring home a little extra magic by adopting a new reindeer friend. Already a best friend to the scout elves, this snuggly reindeer is sure to be a hit with children and families. Each reindeer pet wears a heart charm around its neck that fills with Christmas magic each time a child hugs, talks, or plays with it. On Christmas Eve that full heart helps Santa’s sleigh fly.
During all the Barnes & Noble Storytime events, customers are encouraged to take photographs and share them on their social media venues using the hashtag #bndiscovery. Additionally, the Barnes & Noble Café will offer Storytime attendees a Tall Hot Chocolate or Peppermint Hot Chocolate for only $1.
