Welcome to MIBA
We are a nonprofit trade association that supports and celebrates locally owned and operated independent bookstores and booksellers throughout a 9+ state portion of the Midwest (Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula). We work directly with booksellers and the people who do business with them: publishers, wholesalers, distributors, sales reps, and others allied to the book industry.
Member Spotlight
At Knuth Book Cellar, we believe in the power of books to bring joy, spark curiosity, fuel imagination, share knowledge, and nourish the soul. Books and brews share a common purpose: they bring people together and offer a moment of delicious escape. Knuth Book Cellar is a natural extension of that spirit. We aim to be your trusted source for new releases, timeless classics, and unexpected finds.
