The ranks of independent booksellers continued to expand in 2023. Membership in the American Booksellers Assn. has nearly double since 2016.

Three years ago, Erin Decker was a middle school librarian in Kissimmee, Fla., increasingly frustrated by the state's book bans and worried that she couldn't make a difference remaining in her job. So, she and fellow librarian Tania Galiñanes thought of a way to fight back.

But a “bookstore” can also mean a “pop-up” business like Loc'd & Lit, which has a mission to bring “the joy of reading to the Bronx,” the New York City borough that had been viewed by the industry as a “desert” for its scarcity of bookstores. Other new stores are online only, among them the Be More Literature Children's Bookshop and the used books seller Liberation Is Lit.
