    When you checkin, grab your special pin at the info desk (while supplies last). Pin slogans change every few months and are super book nerdy!

    Family Flix are a great way to watch movies for free with your family. Bring a blankie and get cozy. Also love to get a bite in their cafe.

    Free parking for an hour - just take your ticket in, and get it validated on your way out.
