Hosting a summer camp is a great way for a store to bring in more business during the summer months and to reach kids and parents looking for activities to keep them busy. With teachers encouraging — and often requiring — students to continue reading during the summer, booksellers have a prime opportunity to build excitement about books, grow a community of readers, and make money during the dog days of summer. In this roundtable idea exchange, booksellers will share and discuss how their stores:
- Conceptualize an idea
- Plan strategies
- Manage staff and campers’ expectations
- Logistics
- Day-to-day operations
