My Nonprofit Reviews

I volunteer for Binc because I am passionate about a thriving and healthy book industry overall, and I know how important bookstores, and booksellers, are to the long-term strength of the industry. I started working in bookselling 25 years ago and have always believed that smart and interesting people are attracted to work in books because they have a passion for connect readers to the written word. But it just isn't the most lucrative industry to be honest. Binc is a critical link in ensuring that booksellers who may face financial difficulties, for a variety of reasons, have a safety net. I have been a donor and supporter of Binc since its inception in 1996 because I believe that we can all help each other in times of need - and we often don't know or can't anticipate when that will be. I know that Binc has changed lives - saved booksellers from financial disaster, or helped them achieve their career goals by attending college. Binc is one of the most critical ways that we can ensure that great people can remain in bookselling. Binc needs help from everyone who is committed to ensuring a stable and healthy book industry. Small gifts add up, so please donate - your time, your expertise, and yes, your money. Because book people need to care for one another - we have to focus on the future of bookselling, and those who connect books and readers. Please give and please share the word about Binc - awareness is everything.
