When it comes to reaching out to new readers and promoting diverse titles to all audiences, independent bookstores are in a unique position to foster conversation. Whether your store serves a multicultural or homogeneous population, leading booksellers in the ongoing campaign, along with executives from the We Need Diverse Books team, will share suggestions on how to send clear messages about diversity in the daily routines of the bookstore. By examining areas such as staffing, inventory, displays, publicity, and events, panelists will highlight best practices and discuss how making adjustments in the message your store sends can have a significant impact on your relationship with the community.
American Booksellers Association is a national trade association that supports and advocates for the success of independent bookstores. We provide members with education, networking opportunities, advocacy, resources, and technology. In turn our members support local schools through book fairs, donations and author visits; promote literacy; provide inclusive community centers; connect readers and books; add character to neighborhoods; champion and center diverse and new voices; and contribute to the local economy. We feel honored to support them in their work.
