The American Booksellers Association has made session materials for next Tuesday's Day of Education accessible to all member booksellers via download from BookWeb.org [6]. In addition, member booksellers who stop by the ABA Booksellers Lounge (Room 1E07/08 of the Javits Convention Center) at BookExpo America [7] can pick up the materials for the Day of Education, sponsored by Ingram, on a USB memory stick. (This small device plugs into a computer and functions as an external drive.)

Other materials available for pick-up in the lounge (while supplies last) include a journal, courtesy of W.G. Ellerkamp Paper Company; the most up-to-date Day of Education schedule; a Frommer's Guide to New York City; and a special gift, courtesy of Other Press, a Who is Mr. Toppit? umbrella.

The ABA Booksellers Lounge is also the place for members to take a break from the hectic trade show floor, check e-mail, recharge laptops, learn about ABA products and services, and have books autographed by some of their favorite authors [8].

On Wednesday from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m., Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito, the authors of Baked Explorations: Classic America Desserts Reinvented (October 2010, Stewart, Tabori & Chang), will be in the lounge serving breakfast treats from their renowned bakery, in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Lounge hours are:

• Tuesday, May 25: 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.

• Wednesday, May 26: 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. (Lounge closes at 3:00 p.m. for the ABA Town Hall and Annual Meeting)

• Thursday, May 27: 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
