American Booksellers Association

The American Booksellers Association (ABA) is a national organization that supports independent bookstores in the United States. It provides resources, advocacy, and training to help these businesses thrive in a competitive market. The ABA promotes the value of independent bookselling, encourages reading, and fosters a community among bookstores. It also hosts events, like the annual Winter Institute, where booksellers can network, learn, and share ideas. By defending the interests of independents, the ABA helps ensure a diverse and vibrant literary culture in America.
