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
Little Bean Books is the only bookstore in Antioch, Illinois. We are women-owned and support our community. We are one of the few indie bookstores in northeastern Illinois. We are right in the middle of Milwaukee and Chicago. We love talking about books with our customers and would love to talk to you about books as well!
