Booksellers are busy on the sales floor in December, but there are still some things SIBA wants you to know about the months ahead:

• The last Read This Next! list for 2023 has a "love and adventure" theme, making it possibly the most fun list of the whole year.
  
  
• Booksellers have a chance to join SIBA's 2024 Influencers -- a focus group which provides feedback on SIBA emerging ideas and road tests new projects. Email Linda-Marie by December 15th to be a part of next's year's group.
  
  
• From December 24 - January 1 SIBA offices will be closed (but we will be watching our email).
  
  
• On January 10 SIBA is holding its New Year Orientation, a virtual tour through major SIBA programs followed by a Q&A with the SIBA staff. New SIBA members are especially encouraged to attend to hear how to make the most out of their membership. And veteran SIBA members will also find valuable information about the newer programs SIBA offers, such as our Discord Community and the Indie Press Social events.

Further on in 2024, SIBA booksellers can look forward to more Owners Retreats, the return of the SIBA Census for 2024, a full March Madness series of bookstore events, and an enhanced program for the New Voices New Rooms in-person conference.
