LPC Blog

The Library Publishing Coalition Blog is used to share news and updates about the LPC and the Library Publishing Forum, to draw attention to items of interest to the community, and to publish informal commentaries by LPC members and friends.

The LPC Showcase Week Task Force is excited to announce that the inaugural Library Publishing Showcase Week will be February 23–27, 2026! Library Publishing Showcase Week is a celebration of the creativity, innovation, and significance of library publishing programs.

Throughout the week, LPC will spotlight how library publishing supports authors, students, researchers, and scholarly communities by featuring impactful publications, partnerships, and services. Participants were selected from submissions across the LPC community.

This inaugural Library Publishing Showcase Week will happen alongside the launch of our forthcoming library publishing advocacy website, which will also host the Library Publishing Showcase Week content.

Even if you are not highlighted through LPC, we encourage you to celebrate Library Publishing Showcase Week! Share your project or program and highlight how it creates impact, learning opportunities, cost savings, and responsive services through local blog posts and social media using #libpubweek or #libpubshowcase. We’ve also created some badges you can use in your publicity.

We hope you’ll save the date and plan to celebrate library publishing with us!

Warmly,
The LPC Showcase Week Task Force
