PART ONE:

BEFORE YOU SIGN UP TO WORK THE EVENT, PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY.
​

1. In-person participants represent NIWA and therefore should dress neatly (business casual* - t-shirts that are plain, event theme related, or book related are acceptable. All clothing should be free from stains.) and conduct themselves in a professional manner - avoiding loud outbursts, making disparaging remarks about NIWA and/or its members, member's books or customers.   *At times, some events will require participants to dress in “costume” according to the theme of their event. Any costume requirements will be listed on the event sign up page. Please give consideration to this before you sign up.
2. ALL staff members are required to wear a lanyard with a NIWA name tag.
3. Staff members should greet visitors and ask them what they like to read, then direct them to the area on the table where they can peruse their preferred genre. Use the booklist to help answer any questions. Also, during slow times, it's helpful to read the back covers of a few books to help you become familiar with them. 
4. The goal for staffing members is to sell all the books on the tables or at least one copy for every participant.
5. In-person participants should not hover over their personal books but move around so they can help the visitors to our booth.
6. As a BONUS for those who staff our events: Staffing members may bring extra copies of their titles, including bundles, HOWEVER, the bulk of these are to be stored in their vehicles. They can bring a small tote (10"x13"x5") with added copies to the booth. These are to be stored until ALL copies on the table of that title are sold. You can replenish the copies in the tote on a break as needed.  The number of copies on the table should NOT exceed the event's book limit.
7. ALL STAFF MEMBERS are to assist with the set-up and tear-down of the booth. When the event is over, books should be carefully packed back into the bins. Tablecloths should be neatly folded, and any soiled linens reported to the Lead.
