The American Booksellers Association hopes to see booksellers at a Booksellers Forum and Education Program [6] to be held in conjunction with the Great Lakes Booksellers Association (GLBA) and the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) on Tuesday, April 10, at the Louisville Marriott Downtown [7] (home of ABA's 2008 Winter Institute) in Louisville, Kentucky. Registration starts at 9:45 a.m., and the program will run from 10:15 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

All ABA, GLBA, and SIBA store owners and staff are welcome to participate in the free programs. The Louisville forum will be facilitated by ABA's COO Oren Teicher; Len Vlahos, the director of both BookSense.com and ABA's education program; and Kristen Gilligan, associate director of programming.

For planning purposes, booksellers who will be attending the forum are asked to contact either ABA's Margaret Nafz at [email protected] [8] or (800) 637-0037, ext. 6614.
