Throughout April, ABA is hosting the A Universe of Wishes virtual reading series for consumers, which booksellers can start promoting now. Marketing materials are available on BookWeb.

IndieCommerce stores that have not yet switched to their own credit card processor have until March 31 to complete the process. Stores that are still on ABA’s credit card processor on April 1 will no longer be able to accept credit cards as a payment method on their IndieCommerce sites.

Spring programming is underway by the regional bookseller associations. See what’s going on in your neck of the woods.
