You may order by phone, 36 by e-mail, or in person at the bookstore. Remember: You will not be able to attend unless you have purchased the book ahead of time and submitted proof of vaccination at the door. At the door, you will be greeted by a staff member who will check proof of your vaccination and then give you the signed copy of the book you ordered and paid for.

Since seating will be limited, it’s a first purchase, first served kind of registration. Here are a couple of reminders: If you would like to attend this event, you must register first by ordering and pre-paying for the book before the event. Seating will be limited, and chairs will be spaced far enough apart to maintain recommended distancing.

No children under 12 will be allowed to attend. As is the case for all public indoor gatherings, you will be required to wear a mask throughout the program. Griffin Bay Bookstore is keeping your health and safety as our first priority, and consequently, we are instituting a number of protocols: All attendees will need to show proof of full vaccination-be sure to bring your cards or phone or other documentation to show us you’ve been fully vaccinated. If you would like a personalized message from Thor, please make arrangements with him after the event. All books will be signed by the author prior to the event. Please note: the purchase of one book covers entry for one person and a guest. Ordering and prepaying for a copy of the book before the event on September 28 is your ticket for entry. The only way we can host an in-person event safely, however, is to limit attendance. Griffin Bay Bookstore is naturally delighted to celebrate and honor the book’s release. A story of hope, resilience, and risk, this book will surely be remembered as the defining natural history of an unnatural time. What could be more timely for San Juan Islanders after experiencing a summer of drought and heat waves? In Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid, Thor Hanson explores the remarkable ways that plants and animals are responding to climate change: moving, adapting, and even evolving. If you’ve read Feathers, Seeds, and Buzz, and sat enthralled at one of Thor Hanson’s lively and informative presentations, you’ll be anxious to attend the launching of the author’s just-published, Hurricane Lizards and Plastic Squid, to be hosted by Griffin Bay Bookstore on Tuesday, September 28, 7:00 pm at Brickworks. There is always reason to celebrate the release of a new book by San Juan Island biologist and author, Thor Hanson.
