Ci2024: Social Responsibility and Children’s Bookselling 

This idea exchange acknowledges that books are a luxury and children who don’t have access to books won’t have access unless a concerted effort is made by a bookstore. We will assess the role of a community bookstore, critique school events, and connect ways in which bookstores can integrate financially accessible or no-cost ways to deliver books to children - strengthening community bonds and infusing all young people with a lifelong love of reading while remaining fiscally conscious of the business.
