What Does a Healthy Publishing Industry Look Like?
INDUSTRY TRACK
Publishers are faring better than ever, but they're also bigger than ever. Amazon remains the dominant retail force in the business. In the U.S., our standard-bearer industry trade event, BookExpo, is no longer. Independent booksellers, having survived the pandemic, are still facing daunting issues. There’s a crushing paper shortage. Is this a healthy publishing industry? Are there players that need to be supported better? Are there alternatives?

Libraries Are Essential
Sponsored by
With the second annual Libraries Are Essential program, the U.S. Book Show once again acknowledges a simple fact: America's libraries are more than just a key marketplace for publishers and authors, they are bedrock institutions, anchors in our communities, vital to the health of our democracy and society, and crucial to our reading and literary cultures.
The 2022 Libraries Are Essential program will run from 11 AM to 5:00 PM ET on May 24. The program will be presented in two blocks, separated by a lunchtime program, featuring an array of voices and perspectives from the library community.
The morning session will explore the rise of book banning, misinformation, educational gag orders, and other legislation targeting the work of public and school libraries across the nation. The afternoon session will focus on the post-pandemic future of libraries, including issues of worker and public safety, digital equity issues, and library leadership. The program will conclude with a keynote U.S. Congressman from Maryland Jamie Raskin, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling book Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy.
And for a special bonus session, join us on Wednesday evening, May 25 (6:45–8:00 PM ET) for a very special library-themed live session of the wildly popular Friends & Fiction author group.
The Pandemic and Publishing: How Has Covid Changed the Industry for Good?
INDUSTRY TRACK
While the scars of the pandemic are still raw, many people are trying to look ahead to a new normal. The question is, what does a "new normal" look like? With the pandemic having upended office life and decimated the supply chain, those in publishing need to ask what's next. Can the changes brought by remote working bring about positive changes in work/life balance and help diversify our workforce? Can the ongoing supply chain issues bring about new, more productive, ways of doing business?
