SIBA for Bookstores & Booksellers

Be Independent. Together.

SIBA's core members are booksellers like you who connect, inspire, and grow their businesses through the opportunities and benefits SIBA offers. SIBA provides a forum to discuss common problems and share ideas, offers educational programs and workshops, and strives to promote a high standard of ethics and business practices among the membership. SIBA exists to help you become a more profitable business, and sell more books.

"The SIBA network is invaluable. I've found every member I approach open and willing to help with any inquiry I have."
~ Hilary Barrineau, Hooray for Books!, Alexandria, VA

"The most valuable thing about SIBA is the facilitation of discussion between colleagues - I can't tell you how many times I've been part of a discussion that originated with relationships formed through SIBA and drew a straight line back to a new idea or approach for my store."
~ John Cavalier, Cavalier House Books, Denham Springs, LA

The SIBA Peer Bookseller Resource Library

A collection of road-tested resources for booksellers by booksellers.

"An amazing resource that has helped me work through a problem on more than one occasion. It's one of my first stops when I'm starting a new project or adopting a new strategy. There's no need to reinvent the wheel when you can use SIBA and your fellow booksellers as a guide to success!"
~John Cavalier, Cavalier House Books, Denham Springs, LA
