Banned Books Week, an annual event sponsored by the American Library Association, is a time to highlight the importance of intellectual freedom and to celebrate the power of books to challenge, inspire, and inform. This year's theme, "Freed Between the Lines," encourages us to explore the stories that have been banned or challenged throughout history and to reflect on the enduring power of words. At Books-A-Million, we believe that everyone should have access to the books and information they choose. That's why we are proud to participate in Banned Books Week by featuring some of the most frequently challenged books of 2023. These books, which range from award-winning classics to contemporary bestsellers, have been targeted for censorship due to their content, themes, or language.

HR Professional | Transforming Organizations through Attracting and Retaining Top Performers | Books A Million
I consider myself to be incredibly fortunate to have been asked to present at DM Week 2024! Twice a year, Books A Million hosts our district managers, some general managers, and other operations team members from all over the country to discuss the importance of the work we do and the opportunities we can leverage in the future. Yesterday, I was able to discuss my experiences, including my time working in HR at Birmingham-Southern College, and how that can translate to powerful recruitment and retention strategies for our business. I illustrated the importance of building your network, utilizing community resources and local colleges, as well as the power of sharing your recruitment story. ⭐️So, for my network, I am intrigued to hear YOUR recruitment story. What are some of the best recruitment practices in your opinion?⭐️ #bestpractices #humanresources #dmweek2024 #buildingyournetwork
