Have you ever imagined owning a bookstore, or just thought booksellers have the most awesome job in the world?  (We do, we do.)  Join us for an insider's look at the daily operations of a small bookstore, hosted by St. Johns Books owner Nena Rawdah.  This is your chance to find out how bookstores are really doing these days, what their prospects are for the future, and what it takes to get one going.  Nena will also discuss

• the economics of new and used books
• where the money comes from--and where it goes
• why shopping local really does make our entire regional economy healthier
• resources for planning your own bookselling venture

Participants will be invited to apply for 3 part-time, 10-week internship openings--great opportunities to experience the work and fun of bookselling.
