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 Ink & Ivy, our story began with a shared love of our community, reading, and gift giving, with a hope of creating a space where people could gather and be inspired. Together, our mother-daughter team envisioned a shop that would be a creative space for book lovers! We are thrilled to share our passions, bringing together books, gifts, and events in a space designed to feel like a home away from home.
