For publishers, authors and library partners
Join the library community. Don’t just advertise to it.
Organizations that serve libraries are welcome here on the same terms as everyone else: bring something librarians can use.
The principle
The librarian comes first.
Bookstacks and Stories should never feel like librarians joined a community only to become advertising targets. So the opportunity here isn’t buy access to librarians. It’s become part of the library community.
That distinction is reflected in how every partner appears across the site.
Who takes part
The organizations that serve libraries.
-
Publishers & authors
Introduce new titles to the people who put them into readers’ hands.
-
Technology companies
Demonstrate what your tools actually do, to an audience that will ask good questions.
-
Database & service providers
Answer questions, share documentation, and be present where decisions get discussed.
-
Furniture & space design

-
Consultants & educators
Contribute expertise and run sessions people choose to attend.
-
Conference organizers
Extend the conversation before, during and long after the event.
Ways to participate
Contribute something worth having.
Partners who add value become part of the room. Partners who only broadcast don’t last long in any community, and this one is no exception.
- Introduce new books and titles
- Showcase products where they’re relevant
- Share genuinely useful educational content
- Sponsor community events
- Demonstrate new technology
- Answer questions in your area of expertise
- Support community programming
- Offer member benefits
