Building on the “Amazon and Empty Storefronts” study presented at Winter Institute 11 and the Spring Forums, ABA will reveal updated data from Civic Economics. After reviewing the new data, ABA staff and a bookstore expert will discuss how booksellers can communicate the New Localism message to and work more effectively with other independent retailers, elected officials, community members, local first organizations, and the media.​​
