The American Booksellers Association is inviting all booksellers attending Winter Institute 15 [6] to take part in an open discussion about industry and association issues at a Town Hall Meeting [7] from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Thursday, January 23.

No other programming is planned during the Town Hall so that all ABA members can attend. The meeting will take place in the Holiday Ballroom 4-6 at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor.

The discussion will be facilitated by ABA President Jamie Fiocco of Flyleaf Books [8] in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and Vice President Bradley Graham of Politics and Prose [9] in Washington, D.C.; the entire ABA Board will also be in attendance.

During the meeting, the floor will be open to questions and comments from all booksellers in attendance; however, anyone who would like to send questions in advance can e-mail [email protected] [10]. A sign-up sheet will also be prominently displayed at the ABA Welcome and Registration Desk in the East Foyer until just before the start of the meeting.

The 2020 Winter Institute will be held January 21–24 at the Hilton Baltimore Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. See the full program here [11].
