ABA Ends Policies
The American Booksellers Association exists so that its core membership of independent bookstores can operate successfully and constitute a vital channel in the U.S. book market.
This will be achieved at a level that justifies the resources invested while ensuring the association’s long-term financial sustainability.
This will be done in a manner that demonstrates a commitment to antiracism, equity, access, and representation.
ABA prioritizes education, promotion, advocacy, partnerships, and operational support.
We envision:
The American Booksellers Association, a national not-for-profit trade organization, works with booksellers and industry partners to ensure the success and profitability of independently owned book retailers, and to assist in expanding the community of the book.
Independent bookstores act as community anchors; they serve a unique role in promoting the open exchange of ideas, enriching the cultural life of communities, and creating economically vibrant neighborhoods.
