ABA is committed to awarding scholarships to booksellers from all backgrounds. We encourage booksellers who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or neurodivergent as well as booksellers with disabilities to apply. We aim to make Children’s Institute as welcoming and inclusive as possible. To assist the scholarship awarding process, we invite you to share what informs your experience as a bookseller, whether in terms of race, class, gender, sexual identity, physical ability, cultural background, or in some other way, and why you feel you should be awarded a scholarship to Children’s Institute.
The American Booksellers Association, a national not-for-profit trade organization, works with booksellers and industry partners to ensure the success and profitability of independently owned book retailers, and to assist in expanding the community of the book.
Independent bookstores act as community anchors; they serve a unique role in promoting the open exchange of ideas, enriching the cultural life of communities, and creating economically vibrant neighborhoods.
