The National Book Access Association hosts an annual conference for people and organizations dedicated to improving book access—the availability and ownership of books for individuals, families, and communities, particularly those facing barriers due to socioeconomic status, geography, or systemic inequities. Book access encompasses more than simply having books nearby; it includes the ability to own, borrow, and meaningfully engage with books in ways that nurture lifelong literacy, curiosity, and joy.

The NBAA conference is an ideal space for networking and professional development. You can connect with fellow colleagues, potential partners, and thought leaders, building meaningful relationships within the book access community. Whether you’re a seasoned professional with years of experience or new to the field and eager to learn, you’ll find opportunities to share your insights, learn innovative practices, and be inspired by others’ commitment to creating a world where everyone has access to books.
