    Announcing the National Book Access Conference 2026: Beyond the Book

    Join book access leaders from across the country for a powerful day of learning, collaboration, and innovation. Together, we’ll look beyond the book itself—to the systems, partnerships, and tools that help get the right books into the hands and homes of the children who need them most.

    Topics include:

    • The current landscape of book access nationwide
    • Book distribution streams and models
    • Moving from competition to collaboration
    • Smarter data collection for stronger storytelling and funding
    • Lunch & Learn: AI and technology solutions for book access organizations
