As part of ABA’s commitment to antiracism, representation, equity, and access, ABA works with NetGalley to review the Digital Box program book descriptions to screen for hate speech as defined by the U.N.'s criteria, though the information available for screening may be limited. Screening is done for hate speech only, leaving the ultimate decision of whether to request, read, sell, or support these books to the booksellers.
Pro Tip:
Encourage your staff to add the store ABA number to their NetGalley accounts as well. Once they do, the ABA logo will appear next to their name for publishers to see when requesting books!
