"As independent booksellers, we occupy a very unique space in the marketplace. The opportunity that Heartland Fall Forum allows for us to come together, check-in, and discover what's working with fellow booksellers in our region is vital to the continued growth or our community." - Michelle Shaver, Carmichael’s Bookstore
