Banned Books Week Survey Seeks Booksellers’ Views

The American Booksellers for Free Expression (ABFE) is asking booksellers to evaluate this year’s Banned Books Week by replying to a brief survey.

ABFE sent promotional kits to 485 ABA members this year, tripling the number sent in 2014. It is seeking comments from stores that received the kits as well as from those who produced their own promotional materials. Stores that did not receive a kit can use the survey form to sign up to receive the kit next year.

“We are delighted by the enthusiastic response of booksellers who received the promotional kit, but we want to hear how it might be improved,” said ABFE Director Chris Finan. “We also want to know what else we can do to help stores promote Banned Books Week in the future.”

Booksellers can take the survey here.
