Groundhog Day is one of the busiest days of the year at Read Between the Lynes in Woodstock, Ill. (Woodstock was the filming location for the Bill Murray classic). As in past years, several staffers from Sourcebooks came to help out, and this year, the store festivities included a special story time featuring Alice Walstead's How to Catch a Groundhog. Backstory: Read Between the Lynes owner Arlene Lynes had approached Sourcebooks with the idea for the book (as a part of the How to Catch a... series), and in December 2024, the book was published.
