SIBA Sponsors Professional Bookseller School

SIBA is a sponsor of The Professional Booksellers School (PBS), which offers both basic/introductory and sustained high-level professional development for bookstore staff. Courses are designed and taught by experienced and successful owners, managers, buyers, and event staffers. Courses are offered in subjects like Basic Bookselling, Inventory Management, Event Management, Store & Operations Management, and Bookstore Finances.

SIBA's sponsorship means member booksellers qualify for a discount on courses when they sign up, and can receive a partial reimbursement from SIBA if they complete a course that counts towards certification.

Discounts:
SIBA Member Booksellers receive a 12% discount on all live courses. Use code SIBAlive.
