The Booksellers Association supports its members with activity throughout the year that highlights the value of bookshops and reading.
 
Books Are My Bag is our consumer-facing campaign that encompasses key moments in the bookselling calendar such as Independent Bookshop Week and Bookshop Day, as well as seasonal initiatives such as Indie Book of the Month and the Christmas Books and Summer Books catalogues.
 
This collaboration between publishers, bookshops, authors, poets and illustrators launched in 2013 and its profile and reach builds with every year.
