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
Monstera's Books is an independent bookstore based in Overland Park, KS. We sell new, used, and vintage books – as well as plants, stationery, and local merch. Our Mission is to share the joy of books.
We are a local business – 
our customers are our neighbors. We live down the street from the shop, we walk these same sidewalks, and we just love books.
