92 bookstores, or 37% of SIBA's current store members have signed up to participate in the 2025 Indie Summer Reading Guide catalog program. That represents a 24% increase from last year's participation.
Reservations are now closed, but title list is available:

Downloadable marketing assets will be available to bookstores in April.
What's next?
The Indie Summer Reading Guides will ship at the end of May. Before that, though, orders will open for the Winter catalogs, which are larger and allow store imprinting. Make your plans accordingly!
The catalog program is a vital source of revenue which underwrites SIBA programming, scholarships, and educational opportunities for booksellers. Store participation is essential. If you have attended a conference, received a grant, or are one of the nearly 150 booksellers who attended a March Madness event, then you have directly benefited from the SIBA/RAMP catalog program.
