NVNR NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS
Events programs are a key part of an indie bookstore's strategy. They bring new customers into the store, they raise the bookstore's visibility in their community, and they provide a unique experience for the people who shop there. A memorable event will raise the reputation of a bookstore with publishers. A vibrant, successful events program will ensure more publishers will want to send authors to the store.
