As our team heads out of the office to set up for #NTTBF26, we'd like to take a moment to look back on all the wonderful moments of #NTTBF25. We can't wait to make more memories & share more stories with all of you! youtube.com/watch?v=UIQRi7jO…

Correct! Our team never shares the Ed Day schedule or list of speakers. This is in part to not confuse people between the two programs, and in part, this is to not entice others to attend Ed Day, which is a closed event for teachers & librarians only.

The author signing is from 3:30-5 p.m. Prep your books with the provided sticky notes to help the authors sign to the right person. The limit is 3 books per person per turn in line, but staff may change the limit at any time if a line is going a bit long. No rolling carts.
Signing Line Info: There is a small photo of R.L. Stine and one of his Goosebumps books R.L. Stine's Signing Line: wristband required Wristband holders may enter through the ticketed author signing line entrance on page 4. Books will be signed but not personalized. After completing the R.L. Stine signing, attendees can join the general signing area witout returning to the back of the line. A yellow post it says: Author signings begin at 3:30 p.m. in the first floor exhibit hall. Prep books while waiting in line. Volunteers have a supply of sticky notes and pens to assist. The NTTBF book sales area also contains pre-signed books from visiting authors. Check it out!

Ed Day 2026 will feature more than two dozen YA & MG authors. This is a private, professional learning opportunity so attendance is limited to educators. Registration is required to attend. We ask that educators do not bring children.

Educators who work outside of DFW absolutely may attend Ed Day, but everyone still must register with either ESC in Region 10 or 11 so they can provide PD credits. Please note: we will not be posting the Ed Day program publicly. That will be available at sign-in the day of.
