ABA is...
the national trade association for independent booksellers — since 1900. ABA offers education, services and products, advocacy, and relevant business information. Look below for a selection of this month's key news and programs, or see an overview of all ABA programs and benefits.
Education session handouts are available here; the complete program schedule is available at wi7.bookweb.org. See you next year for Winter Institute 8 in Kansas City, Missouri, from Friday, February 22, through Monday, February 25, 2013. Additional print copies of the full-color, 20-page ABC Best Books for Children Catalog are available; contact Shannon O'Connor for details. The catalog is also available in PDF format and is installed and ready to go on IndieCommerce websites. (Read this BTW article to learn how some indie booksellers are using the catalog and flier to drive sales.) For other tips, tricks, and resources, check out the December issue of The ABC Toolbox and "like" the ABC Group's new Facebook page. Looking for ways to promote the top 10 titles on the Winter ’11/’12 Kids’ Indie Next List? Shelf-talkers are ready for download. >Learn more about the benefits of ABC Children’s Group membership. |
ABA's E-Fairness Action Kit (E-FACT) provides booksellers nationwide with crucial, state-specific tools to help them in their e-fairness outreach efforts.
The registration process for those wishing to become volunteer book givers is open through February 1, 2012, as is sign-up for stores that want to serve as book pick-up locations. Visit www.us.worldbooknight.org for complete details; information for booksellers can be found under the "Booksellers" tab in the top menu bar.
The IndieBound Reader™ is available for devices using the Android operating system at Android Market or from IndieBound.org, and for iOS from the App Store. An array of online and printable materials are available at IndieCommerce.com to help stores promote the apps. >DETAILS |
