Children’s Bookselling

Bookseller panelists at the Children’s Institute session shared tips for approaching Title 1 schools and building community partnerships and discussed how such partnerships can be effective and profitable.

Topics include author event grids, conducting a diversity audit, the art of reading aloud, and more.

Booksellers who attended the 2019 Children’s Institute are encouraged to fill out the post-event survey and sign into the Children’s Institute app to complete session evaluations.

During the session, attendees not only learned about how to implement a fun and engaging story time in their stores, but participated in a story time themselves. 

Booksellers who attended Ci7 are asked to fill out session evaluations and keep an eye out for an overall event survey coming soon; those who didn’t attend can watch BTW for education coverage.

The cover reveal and pre-order campaign exclusively for indie bookstores aims to provide an alternative to the typical book announcements that primarily link to online competitors for sales.

Booksellers at all ABA member stores are encouraged to submit title recommendations by Friday, July 12, via the catalog’s online submission form.

At 1:00 p.m. EST on Wednesday, July 10, indie booksellers across the nation will unveil the book jacket and encourage customers to pre-order the title at their stores.
