Showcase your titles to the folks who know
& love books best - librarians!

We love librarians! And they love indie publishers. This is one of our favorite book shows - and it shows! Join us in Manchester, NH this year for what is sure to be another dynamic NELA conference!

Since librarians delight in finding uncommon and regional books to meet their patrons' needs, they tend to be attracted to small presses. 

The New England Library Association show is the one show where you'll find the most regional librarians, staff, and trustees gathered together in one place. They're especially interested in books from New England authors and publishers and books with other connections to our region as well as general titles.

IPNE@NELA Exhibit Deadlines

  • You must register by Monday, Oct. 10. We can feature your most recent title in the show catalog, along with your publishing company information.
  • You must be an IPNE member and be physically present to represent your books and the organization.
  • If you cannot attend, we offer a catalog-only exhibit option on the registration page.

NEW: Exhibit Guidelines

These new guidelines are designed to help IPNE more efficiently and effectively represent our members and our mission.
