The Borders in my area is much more active in the community than B&N is. Hard to imagine a big chain doing that, but they work with local events for exposure etc. I'm saddened by the fact that B&N seems to be doing better than Borders when they do nothing for the community. In some areas, non-chain bookstores do a good job of that, hosting events and reader discussion groups, but we only have Borders and B&N around us.
