In recent weeks, booksellers around the country have been targeted by bomb threats and other threads of violence because they host drag story time events. Some have been targeted before, and some are being targeted for the first time. This webinar offers a chance to hear from booksellers who have dealt with threats in the recent past (and have before), experts from the Drag Story Hour team, and a crisis management expert. The webinar will be accompanied on another day by a meetup for those who want to be in community around this issue. Restricted to ABA members.

For events requiring registration, registration links are visible to logged-in, ABA bookseller members only.
