Professional booksellers need not only book knowledge and passion, but also business skills and training. To that end, ABA offers tailored educational sessions and events; financial benchmarks and tools; and wide-ranging and unique marketing materials and messages.
ABA Education is created specifically for the retail professional and is presented at ABA’s premier event, the Winter Institute, the ABC Children's Institute, regional fall trade shows and spring forums.
From bookselling basics to digital issues, ABA Education helps bookstores to achieve profitability, to differentiate themselves from their competition, and to remain relevant. See the ABA Education Hub for a full list of offerings.
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.
