The
American Booksellers Association (
ABA) is a non-profit
trade association founded in 1900 that promotes
independent bookstores in the United States. ABA's core members are key participants in their communities' local economy and culture, and to assist them ABA creates relevant programs; provides education, information, business products, and services; and engages in
public policy and industry advocacy. The Association actively supports and defends
free speech and the
First Amendment rights of all Americans, without contradiction of equity and inclusion, through the
American Booksellers for Free Expression. A volunteer board of 13 booksellers governs the Association. Previously headquartered in
White Plains, New York, ABA became a fully remote organization in 2024.
