You don’t need an infinite amount of space to remain competitive in independent bookselling. Bookstores under 1,000 square feet share what they do to maximize their selling space and host events without having to knock down walls. Attendees will learn from panelists who call a small store home:

  • The logistics of hosting an in-store event
  • Crowd management in a small space
  • Inventory management in a small stockroom
  • Keeping it fresh with inventive displays
