It’s Time to Renew Your ABA Dues

Members of the American Booksellers Association should look for their 2014 dues renewal notices to arrive via the USPS within the next several days.The membership year for all members is February 1, 2014 – January 31, 2015.

Stores can renew their dues by mail or via an online form available here. A membership renewal link can also be found in the upper right-hand corner of every page on BookWeb.

Dues can be paid in full by ACH, credit card, or check, or on a monthly or quarterly basis by ACH or credit card. The ABA dues schedule is available here.

The membership renewal form also includes an opt-in to the ABC Children’s Group at ABA. Membership in the ABC Group does not roll over year-to-year, and there is a separate yearly $50 membership fee.

Booksellers can also choose to support the crucial First Amendment work of the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE) by adding a tax-deductible donation on the renewal form.

New this year, the ABC membership fee and the donation to ABFFE can be divided and included as part of the monthly or quarterly payment.
