Right now bookstores who participated in the 2025 Indie Summer Reading Guide program are receiving their catalog orders and making plans to use them to bring in new customers and energize sales.

Get ready, because event though the summer catalogs have just landed, orders for the 2025 WINTER catalog are now open!

The window to place orders is several weeks shorter this year. Don't miss out on this major SIBA benefit and key tool in making your 4th quarter a success.

The Winter Catalogs land in stores the first week of October. They are 16-page, professionally designed, full-color pieces with 100+ books featured. They are created to be easy to slip into customers' bags and include as newspaper inserts. SIBA member booksellers receive the first 5000 catalogs absolutely free of charge, with the option to order more at cost.

Included in the catalog program:

• Free shipping to stores or drop shipping to newspapers
• Extra boxes of 500 catalogs available at cost
• Opt in store imprinting, at a discounted cost for SIBA Bookstores
• Opt in direct mailing to your chosen zip code/mail routes
• Free online digital catalog for store websites
• Professionally-designed digital and downloadable marketing asserts and store signage

Stores that place orders for the Winter Catalog also get to participate in the Catalog Cover Contest to select the 2025 catalog design. Previous years winners include designs by Caldecott-winner Doug Salati (Hot Dog) and Oleksandr Shatokhin (Little Hare Finds a Gift), an artist living and working in Ukraine.

Mark your calendars:

The deadline to participate in direct mail orders is June 1, and for all other orders is June 15th. Don't wait, Catalog Ordering is open now!
