Small Press / Product Table Rules and Regulations
A LOW-COST EXHIBIT OPTION
Authors, new publications, and technologies often are introduced to the library market by smaller start-up companies. To give these companies access to the vital market they seek, ALA has designated a special display option for these companies. If your organization is developing new products and services, this is a low-cost opportunity to introduce yourself to the library market.
Small Press Tables are $1,525/each
