1 LETTERS FROM NAIBA’S PRESIDENTS

The NAIBA Conference is a special place for me. This is where my people are, the ones who understand that my life is more than just reading every book on the shelf, that the actual, real, physical book is not going the way of the dinosaur, and that my business is not just “cute” or “quaint” but a real community asset that benefits readers of all ages and interests. When booksellers gather together each year, it is to teach, to learn, to visit, and (hopefully) to laugh with our friends and colleagues.

I hope you benefit from this conference as much as I do, and I look forward to hearing about your store and the ways it has changed and will change because of the NAIBA conference.

Todd Dickinson Outgoing President Aaron’s Books Lititz, PA

After spending 18 years as an active member of NAIBA and six years serving on your board, I’m thrilled to be representing each of our stores to our community of publishers, wholesalers, prospective NAIBA members and new booksellers-in-the-making. It is an exciting time in our industry as so many stores have new owners and new booksellers are appearing weekly. As a result of the fine leadership of our executive director, Eileen Dengler, her staff and the dedicated members of your board, NAIBA has never been healthier. And that bodes well as we plan educational programming to further strengthen your business for the always challenging years ahead.

In the two years ahead it is my goal to visit with as many of you as possible and represent your interests/concerns to NAIBA and the ABA throughout my term. Please feel free to contact me directly by email ([email protected]) or cell phone (315-532-2334) with any ideas or concerns that you may have.

LET YOUR COMMUNITY KNOW THAT PROFESSIONAL BOOKSELLERS ARE THRIVING Erin Matthews of Books With a Past, Glenwood, MD, has taken on the task of writing a press release that each store can submit to their local papers after the Fall Conference. Matthews will create the template to include: quotes from authors; the value of this book-business meeting for booksellers; and inspirational messages about the importance of books and reading. Bookstores are to personalize the press release by inserting a paragraph mentioning their own attendance, what they valued most, memorable encounters with authors, and the books they are excited to share with their customers. At the conference, feel free to help Matthews capture quotes and anecdotes. Make sure you take your picture with featured authors to send along with the finished press release. (Special thanks, not only to Erin Matthews for volunteering to do this, but to Kevin Moran of Parson Weems, who suggested this idea.)

Carla Cohen Free Speech and Book of the Year Award

It is rare that a story has the ability to change perceptions and open minds, especially for those who have the privilege to look away. Jewell Parker Rhodes’ Ghosts Boys is that kind of story and for this reason we have selected it for the 2018 Carla Cohen Free Speech Award and Book of the Year for middle grade readers.

“I am extremely honored to receive the 2018 Carla Cohen Free Speech Award. As a young author and professor in the D.C. area, I knew of the enormous impact Ms. Cohen had made on arts, culture, and community. To be recognized as a children’s author that Ms. Cohen would have embraced thrills me beyond measure. Her democratic vision and her commitment to informing and engaging everyone (especially children) will inspire me always. I embrace her liwfe’s work and memory just as I embrace the legacy of the ghost boys to “live better,” and help shape our citizenry to seek wisdom and empathy within independent bookstores.”

Jewell Parker Rhodes is the author of Ninth Ward, a Coretta Scott King honor book, Sugar, winner of the Jane Adams Peace Association book award, Bayou Magic, and Towers Falling. She has also written many award-winning books for adults.

Lifetime Bookseller Acheivment Award

In an industry that must expound the ability to build a career as a bookseller, it is a pleasure to recognize Jean Aiello with a lifetime achievement award for her 48 years in bookselling.

Aiello began working for the University Store (known then as Pitt Book Center) as a Pitt student in 1970 and became a full-time employee in 1972. She supported the mission and research of virtually every department and unit within the University of Pittsburgh. She retired in June 2018.

“I can’t even put into words how thrilled and honored I am. I have championed for NAIBA from the very beginning so this award means so much to me.”

Current University Store staff member John Burns said, “Jean’s ability to spot what will sell is instinctive, amazing, and a bit scary. She could walk through the store, spot a customer, know what the customer wanted, and we all watched that customer walk out with a book. It was great fun to watch. Jean has always excelled at doing what was best for customers while meeting the financial needs and requirements of the University Store.”

Parson Weems sales rep Linda Cannon noted that “Jean Aiello has seen the evolution of our business from the days of 3x5 index cards as inventory control all the way to Edelweiss and came through it all. I Jean Aiello wish we could download her amazing bank of knowledge.”

Former bookstore staffer Dwight Fong said “Jean is certainly worthy of an honor for her long years as an excellent Pitt bookstore employee. She was terrific at handling requisitions from university departments for books and other items carried in the bookstore. Plus, Jean gets requisitions for other books and items not in the bookstore that sometimes requires considerable research to locate sources. Jean does this exceptionally well, efficiently and accurately.”

Tim Hepp of Simon and Schuster concurs that “Jean was always a bright spot in every sales reps call. Her great humor, passion for books and all around great attitude always made a trip to Pitt a treat. She will be missed, but she is looking forward to her next adventure.”

Aiello shared these thoughts with us: “You have no idea how thrilled I am about everything. When I retired a month ago I thought that was it, but to be recognized by NAIBA means the world to me. I was the one at the store always asking that we be members and I went to the conferences when I was able to. I knew I had to be there to learn and meet people. It just meant so much to me to spend time with other booksellers and the sales reps. The NAIBA conferences were so much better than any other industry conference for me.”
