Membership Information for the
LDS Booksellers Association

During the month of August, we sponsor an annual convention and trade show, in Salt Lake City. The convention is open to members only, and attendees must be 14 years or older to attend. During this time, wholesale members of the LDSBA exhibit their product(s) and many of them offer special convention prices for those attending. The convention is scheduled for three days and includes the Booksellers University, an evening of entertainment, a banquet, author/artist autographing, as well as the exhibits. Many vendors sponsor additional activities during the convention.

Four times a year, we publish THE LDS BOOKSELLER, which is mailed to the membership. Included in this publication are articles featuring retail and wholesale business tips, President's message, new product review, etc. We also offer a Spectrum CD-ROM, which contains a listing of books, sidelines, music (both audio and printed).

We have placed links below for the retail or wholesale application form. Please complete the application and return to the association's address, along with the required documentation and the payment of $100 for the dues.

If we can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact us at the address or phone number listed below.

Sincerely, - The LDSBA Board of Directors
