Welcome to 2025 at the NBAA!

Happy January!



It's a new year and that means fresh opportunities to collaborate with others who want to live in a world without book deserts! 2024 was a busy year for the National Book Access Association, with professional development webinars and networking sessions focused on a wide range of topics. Do you wish you could design and run your own bookmobile (who wouldn't?)? We brought in a panel to discuss how they turned that dream into a reality. Have you heard a lot about Google Ads and the benefits but don't actually know where to start? Our expert-led webinar answered questions we didn't even know we had!



These events (and many more!) gave attendees the chance to gather together and learn more about the world of book access and the tips and tricks that have contributed to others' success. If you're thinking that those sessions sound interesting, I have two exciting updates to share with you. The first is that NBAA members are able to access past webinars and watch them on-demand. The second is that we have our biggest event of the year coming up on February 7, 2025. The Annual NBAA Conference: Turning Pages, Opening Doors will be a virtual one-day event made up of five different sessions. This means there's something for everyone!



There will be more information to come, but here is a sneak peek at the topics:

• Book Management
• Fundraising and Development
• Marketing and Communication
• Programming
• Volunteers

Learn more and sign up here today! It is free for NBAA members and $50 for non-members. We'd love to see you there!
