Item 4.01                      Changes In Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On April 20, 2012, Books-A-Million, Inc. (the “Company”) engaged Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.  The engagement of E&Y was approved by the Company’s Audit Committee.  E&Y will review the Company’s quarterly consolidated financial statements beginning with the fiscal quarter ending April 28, 2012 and will audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending February 2, 2013.  Additionally, E&Y will also audit the Company’s 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

During the Company’s fiscal years ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011 and through April 20, 2012, neither the Company, nor anyone on the Company’s behalf, consulted E&Y regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or (ii) any other matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
