I am a Bookseller Hero Image

Booksellers and Comic Retailers

The first step in helping booksellers is making sure that frontline booksellers, comic store employees, owners, managers, buyers, and all full- and part-time employees know that Binc is here for them in times of emergency. If you see a colleague in trouble, encourage them to apply.

You can always host a fundraising event!

Contact our development director, Kathy Bartson, to let us know about your event.

More Ways To Support

Choose a way to support our Now More Than Ever, I Stand with Book and Comic Stores Campaign May 19- June 2.

  • Create a display using books from the list of authors who support Binc and using the signage below. Signage will encourage your customers to buy a book and join the authors in supporting your safety net by making a gift. 
  • Ask your customers to support your safety net in your newsletter.
  • Share photos or a video of your Binc book display on social media and tag Binc.
  • Consider a “round up” or “give a dollar” at checkout to support Binc. For printable materials click here. Staff can say, “Help support the booksellers who hand you your favorite reads by supporting the Book Industry Charitable Foundation.”
  • Work with a local author to set up a fundraising page to support Binc. Email Jennifer@bincfoundation.org for help to customize and answer any questions.
