This year marks ABA’s 125th year of helping indie bookstores thrive. As part of our 125th anniversary celebration, we’ll be sharing interviews with key figures in the industry and exploring how the organization has changed since its inception in 1900.

Gen de Botton is ABA’s Senior Manager of Children's Bookselling Programs & Education. As we approach Children’s Institute 2025, de Botton sat down with Bookselling This Week to talk about the Institute’s evolution over the years and the importance of children’s bookselling.
