SIBA Launches Pay by Installment Dues Option for Bookstores

SIBA has added a new dues option for its core bookstore members. Starting in June, bookstores joining SIBA or renewing their membership can choose to pay either a single annual membership fee, or a monthly installment plan.

The one-time annual membership fee $125 per year.
The monthly installment plan is $12.50 per month ($150 per year).

The new payment option has been implemented in recognition of the broader range of bookselling entities now eligible to be SIBA core members under the organization's newly revised Bylaws. The expanded variety of business models now represented in the SIBA's core bookstore membership -- including pop up stores, bookmobiles, and online-only stores with a local focus -- calls for more flexible dues payment options. Bookstores currently on the annual membership plan can switch to the installment plan when their SIBA membership comes up for renewal.

Members who select the installment plan can track their payments in their SIBA account.
