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
One of the jewels of downtown Kankakee, Rubber Rose Books & Print is an independent bookstore, offering a wide selection of gently used books, a curated selection of new books, locally handmade gifts, and printing services. They are the only independent bookstore in Kankakee and are woman and queer owned.
