About Us UBBCP is an association of librarians, readers and book clubs in Pittsburgh. Through a united effort, UBBCP was formed to promote literary activities and events to provide community outreach programs and to spread the love of reading throughout the community. Although UBBCP officially formed in 2004, various book clubs have collaborated to bring authors and spread literacy to Pittsburgh since 1991. Membership is open to any reader or book club in the greater Pittsburgh. UBBCP’s motto is to encourage everyone to “ride the wind of reading”.
UBBCP's goals are to: • Organize public programs about books, writing, emerging technologies and related subjects for readers of all ages;
• Encourage programs in schools about books, writing and reading;
• Provide a forum for discussion of the professional aspects of writing, publishing and printing;
• Encourage use of the resources provided by libraries;
• Foster reading and the discussion of books;
• Promote literacy and life-long education through reading;
• Develop partnerships to advance the mission of UBBCP
