To provide an opportunity for as many members as possible to speak during Wednesday's ABA Town Hall Meeting, a sign-up sheet will be prominently displayed in the ABA Booksellers Lounge beginning Tuesday morning. Booksellers will be called upon in the order in which they sign up.

As an added benefit to ABA members, a free bag check will be available in Room 1E06 from 7:45 - 5:30 on Wednesday and Thursday.
