As we come together for Children’s Institute, ABA acknowledges that those of us here in the United States reside on traditional lands of indigenous people past and present. In gratitude, ahead of each event, ABA makes a donation to the American Indian College Fund to honor the indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial and to express our appreciation.
 
All Children’s Institute attendees are expected to adhere to ABA’s Code of Conduct.
 
ABA is committed to the education of all bookstore members. To make long-distance learning accessible, ABA records programming and disseminates the content on BookWeb whenever possible. Attendees participating on video and/or text chat as panelists and in the audience will be recorded for these purposes.
 
In addition, ABA may share screenshots from Children’s Institute sessions or chats in our follow-up reporting on the event.
