This July, we’re celebrating Margins Bookselling Month, a month dedicated to amplifying BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and neurodiverse booksellers and their communities across the U.S.!
This is an annual community collaboration coordinated by The Word, a nonprofit organization fighting for cultural equity and promoting voices from underserved communities and diverse backgrounds.
Every action, no matter how small, helps keep these local independent bookshops thriving. Follow along on social media with #MarginsBookselling and @WordIsDiversity and read on to learn more about how you can support and participate!
