ABA is a national trade association that supports and advocates for the success of independent bookstores. ABA provides members with education, networking opportunities, advocacy, resources, and technology. In turn our members, over 2,500 independent bookstores across the United States, support local schools through book fairs, donations and author visits; promote literacy; provide inclusive community centers; connect readers and books; add character to neighborhoods; champion and center diverse and new voices; and contribute to the local economy. ABFE is the bookseller's voice in the fight against censorship, promoting and protecting free expression in books and in literary culture, through legal advocacy, education, and collaboration with our allies.
