In 1917, fifteen women booksellers formed the Women's National Book Association (WNBA) after being excluded from the male-dominated Bookseller's League. WNBA was created as an organization open to women and men in all areas of publishing. Over the years, WNBA and its chapters have provided educational programs and seminars, published books on the industry, and participated in conferences and book fairs to support those involved in publishing. As the founding chapter, New York initiated national expansion and continues to sponsor programs for students and professional women.

The vice president of philanthropy for the Mississippi Beta chapter discusses how literacy and their philanthropic work on literacy issues has brought the over 400 members of the chapter together and helped them grow. Through initiatives like Champions are Readers, fundraising for the Lafayette Country Literacy Council, and distributing books at various events, the chapter has far exceeded its philanthropic goals for the year while also strengthening bonds between members. Literacy issues are a priority for the chapter, and through dedicating time to learn about and address these issues, the members have found literacy to be "a gift, not only for the students we work with through LCLC, but for us too."AAUP 2016: Successful University Press Fundraising Four Ways (N.

There is no avoiding it: the library landscape has been changing. We are dealing with slashed budgets and insufficient staffing while attempting to meet an increased need for innovative library programming. As librarians from small libraries, we may be reluctant to shake things up with new ideas because of the high price of failure. So how do we stay relevant in the 21st century? This presentation is a how-to guide for utilizing local resources, establishing valuable community partnerships, and decreasing costs while increasing participation in fresh, fearless, and affordable library programming.

1) Senior leadership needs to champion Web 2.0 initiatives while allowing for bottom-up participation.
2) Companies should scale up successful unintended uses identified by users rather than dictating preferred uses.
3) Web 2.0 technologies need to be incorporated into daily workflows to sustain participation.
4) Incentives should appeal to participants' ego and needs rather than just financial incentives.
5) Efforts require engaging the right influential participants who can drive critical mass and add value.

Libraries provide important resources and support for teens. They help bridge digital divides by providing internet access. They also help teens make sense of the massive amount of information available and teach important information literacy skills. Libraries give teens access to popular materials like books, movies, music and magazines that they enjoy but may not be able to afford otherwise. Librarians must advocate for teen services and programs within their communities to help teens develop into responsible adults.FAVL newsletter 2019

An area of need that has emerged from American libraries and the American publishing industry is the need for diverse books. Canadian libraries have a similar need, but does the American publishing industry reflect the unique minority populations found in Canada? Librarian Laina Kelly looked at the YA collection of a medium-sized library branch, analyzing the diverse content of each book, as well as author minority identities. This presentation builds on BookNet Canada’s report Demand for Diversity and reveals areas of diversity specific to Canadian populations that are needed in library collections.

- 1. Visit www.wnba-books.org Ask About Memberships membership@wnba-nyc.org General Information & Inquiries president@wnba-nyc.org OUR STORY BEGINS… In the fall of 1917, fifteen women booksellers who had been excluded from membership in the all-male Bookseller’s League and from attending the league’s annual convention, met in Sherwood’s Book Store at 19 John Street in downtown New York. They met again in November that year with 35 women present and formed a permanent organization, the Women’s National Book Association (WNBA). They elected its first president, Pauline Sherwood. WNBA’s unique characteristic was a membership open to women in all facets of the world of books—publishers, booksellers, librarians, authors, designers and illustrators, & agents—the only criterion being that part of their income must come from books. During the early and difficult years of the organization, Publishers Weekly was a major supporter, allotting a page each month in the magazine. Now, 94 years later, with 10 chapters in cities across the country, and with corresponding members in nearly 50 states, WNBA continues its goal to champion the role of women in the publishing profession. Its membership is open to women and men who subscribe to WNBA’s mission and goals. Throughout our history, the WNBA national organization and our chapters have: • run seminars on bookselling techniques; • published books on the publishing profession; • participated in book programs on radio and television; • led in-service courses for teachers on children’s books; • sponsored book and author luncheons and dinners; • participated in local book fairs and industry conferences; • and, been active as a DPI/NGO member at the United Nations. WNBA was formed for women engaged in wide-ranging publishing pursuits to serve both the book world and each other. We are book people with aligned challenges, aspirations, and goals. Today women have greater opportunities to implement change and further careers in the world of books and WNBA affords women the opportunity to develop leadership, further communication, and organize activities around our common goals. New York was the founding chapter of WNBA and for thirty years was its only active chapter, initiating corresponding memberships throughout the country. In 1958, a National Board was created to coordinate chapter activities and undertake projects. The New York members, in the publishing center of the world, comprise a unique chapter that has continuously sponsored wide-ranging and vital programs. We are dedicated to supporting students and young professional women in publishing, and providing our members with information and tools they need to succeed in our fast- changing field.
