The American Library Association (ALA) has announced the launch of a new publishing imprint, Huron Street Press, which is seen to take ALA Publishing beyond its traditional market of library and information professionals.
In line with ALA's mission to enhance learning and ensure access to information for all, Huron Street Press will publish a variety of titles designed to appeal to a broad consumer and library market. Its publications will seek to harness the expertise of the Association, while encouraging library use among the public, joining other initiatives such as @ your library and ILoveLibraries.
A trade imprint, Huron Street Press titles will be available through Independent Publishers Group as well as numerous traditional retail outlets in both print and e-book editions. Its first season of titles is now available for pre-order.
Huron Street Press is administered through ALA Editions, which publishes resources said to be used worldwide by tens of thousands of library and information professionals to improve programmes, build on best practices, develop leadership, and for personal professional development.
