IBPA Staffed Exhibits

PLA - Public Library Association Show
3/14/2012 - 3/16/2012
Pennsylvania Convention Center
Philadelphia, PA
The biennial National Conference is the premier event for the public libraries, drawing librarians, library support staff, trustees, Friends, and library vendors from across the country and around the world. Most attendees at this show are buyers from the public library sector. Reference, self-help, children’s, business, health and other books of interest to the general library community do very well at this show.

IBPA has a small block of booths reserved for this show, and if you would prefer to have a full booth or share a booth with another IBPA member, now is the time to sign up for this event. Cost of booth is $2,300 for a 10' x 10' or $1,150 for a shared booth (5' x 10'). A 1/2 payment is due along with your registration.

If you would prefer to display your title or titles within the staffed IBPA complex, where titles are displayed face out in specific genre and a special catalog developed for this show for the librarians, cost per title is $125.00.

It’s always a good idea to attend a book show if you can and IBPA can arrange for badges for those who plan to be in the Philadelphia area. We will need one copy of your title for this show.
