Hosting An Event with ADA LIMÓN
Thank you for welcoming Ada Limón to your community! Below are some guidelines, tips, & recommendations for hosting Ms. Limón to make the event at your school or organization a successful one. We are eager to celebrate your event.
Guidelines, Tips, & Recommendations
HEALTH & SAFETY
Because Ms. Limón travels extensively, we are doing all we can to ensure that everyone stays well. We ask that the following health & safety guidelines of all of Ms. Limón’s event hosts. If you anticipate that any of this may be difficult to achieve with what you have envisioned for the visit with you, please contact Vaughan Fielder.
Book-signing lines should be monitored
Ms. Limón’s book signing lines are often long, and we are grateful for that! We ask that the line be moderated by an event staff person or organizer so that it moves along smoothly.
One way to ensure that the line moves along smoothly is for a staff member to have a stack of post-it notes on which they can write each person’s name before the patron reaches Ada. This makes it clear for everyone!
Photographs & Selfies.
We love taking photos with students, staff, and attendees, but individual selfies often double the time of the book-signing line. A "no-selfie rule" or having a dedicated staff person to take photos often helps expedite the line.
