As part of the pilot program of the Open Discussion project, five independent bookstores will be launching reading groups in the fall of 2018 with the goal of bringing liberals and conservatives together to discuss the issues that divide them. The Open Discussion Project is sponsored by the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC) in partnership with ABA. NCAC and ABA are inviting booksellers to join the Open Discussion Project when it goes national next year. A panel of booksellers who are participating in the pilot will discuss their experience.

Sarah Goddin, Quail Ridge Books (Raleigh, NC); Bradley Graham, Politics and Prose Bookstore (Washington, DC); Alana Haley, Schuler Books (Grand Rapids, MI); Christopher Finan, National Coalition Against Censorship (New York, NY)
