Bookseller associations are organizations that support and represent the interests of independent bookstores and booksellers. They provide resources, training, and networking opportunities to help members thrive in the competitive book market. These associations often advocate for policies that benefit the book industry and promote literacy and reading. Many bookseller associations also organize events, such as book fairs and author signings, to engage the community and encourage book sales. They may offer discounts on books and supplies, as well as access to industry research and best practices. Notable examples include the American Booksellers Association and the Independent Bookstore Day.
