ABC Selects New Executive Director
Anne Irish, longtime bookseller and the interim executive director of the Association of Booksellers for Children (ABC), has now been named the association's executive director, following the work of a search committee headed by Dennis Ronberg of Linden Tree Children's Recordings and Books in Los Altos, California.
In the mid-1970s, Irish founded Pooh Corner in Madison, Wisconsin; 20 years later she sold the business but continued working for the new owners. In January 2001, she left the company.
