Since 2002, ABA Board member Linda Ramsdell of Galaxy Bookshop in Hardwick, Vermont, has been instrumental in rallying booksellers and librarians in the effort to amend Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act.
BookExpo America, which will be held from Thursday, May 18, through Sunday, May 21, at the Washington (D.C.) Convention Center, is now just two-and-a-half months away. To help our readers prepare for the myriad events and educational seminars at BEA, over the next nine weeks, Bookselling This Week will be highlighting each week one or more aspects of the four days of ABA and BEA program offerings. 
Early next week, ABA will mail to bookstore members an envelope containing ballots to approve officers and elect directors to the ABA Board, as well as the brochure, "ABA Convention Programming at BookExpo America."
