Hello Friends

As of September 1, I have taken over the social media accounts for both SIBA and the Southern Bookseller Review. I’m really excited for this, and I hope to make SIBA’s social media a great resource for our members, as well as an extension of our SIBA community. I’m doing more videos, including a “SIBAland News Report” every Monday where I bring you the most important news and information from the most recent newsletter. I’ve also been sharing much more in our Instagram/Facebook stories, including great ideas that I see from our member stores, cool and fun things stores are doing, important links, and more. I’ve even created story highlights on our Instagram page with things like ideas, resources, prospects, and events that I plan to update regularly. Make sure to check our link-in-bio, found in all of our social media bios, for a list of the most up-to-date links.

I’ve also been working on doing more store spotlights. As a bookseller myself, I love to see what other stores are doing, and I know many of our members feel the same way. Look for more of these going forward, and if you want me to spotlight your store, please send me an email at candice@sibaweb.com and/or fill out our Bookstore Profile Questionnaire. I may also reach out to you directly if there’s something we’d like to highlight.

Also don't forget to email me if you haven't received your invite to SIBA's new Discord server! All SIBA booksellers -- owners and staff -- can join.

Follow us on Instagram (and like/comment on our posts to increase our reach) to get the most out of SIBA’s social media.
