Over $6,000 Raised to Accelerate Literacy Through Access to Local Language Books Welcome to IBPA’s Spring 2023 catalog. Between my writing this and you receiving a copy, NABU will have opened the doors to the first US-based Creative Lab in the Miami-Dade County African Heritage Cultural Arts Center in Florida. Aimed at serving the vibrant Haitian community around the world, NABU will further its mission within the lab to train local artists and authors on how to create and publish authentic stories, thereby expanding its Haitian Creole mother tongue book collection.

At 48 pages, this catalog has raised an additional $1,920 on behalf of IBPA member publishers for NABU programs. (You’ll find four of NABU’s titles featured on page 27.) Together, we are helping to put culturally responsive stories into the hands of young people so that every child is afforded equal access to literacy. We are also helping to strengthen the relationship between independent publishers and indie bookstores.

IBPA members include independent publishers, hybrid publishers, author publishers (a.k.a. selfpublished authors), university presses, nonprofits, and association presses. We hope you’ll take some time to explore their titles highlighted in these pages. With more than 150 books to choose from, there’s something to surprise, delight, and educate everyone.

With respect and appreciation for all you do,
