Welcome!
 Welcome to the ICBA website. We hope the information you find here is beneficial in helping you meet the demands of the College Bookstore Industry.

Independent College Bookstore Association is a rapidly growing retail cooperative of independent and institutional college bookstores (no leased or private stores) that is one of the premier organizations in the bookstore industry. This nonprofit mutual benefit corporation is owned by its member stores and spans from Hawaii to Maine, from Texas to Minnesota, and throughout Canada.

 

The mission of ICBA is to provide the programs and services that will establish the institutional store model as the preferred management solution for higher education.

 

ICBA provides the opportunity for owners and decision makers committed to putting their schools and students first and to openly and enthusiastically share operational improvements. ICBA does this by providing exceptional programs and services including buying programs, professional development and much more.

For visitors, this site provides you with an overview of ICBA programs, services and commitments to the institutional store. A few of the basic benefits include:

  • Unsurpassed buying programs
  • Management services (such as Financial Operating Survey)
  • Industry leading education & Professional Development Institutes
  • Annual ICBA Retail Conference & PRIMEtime
  • Exclusive institutional store sharing (everything ICBA does)
  • Innovative technologies (such as ICBA Web Network and Market Share)
  • Over 150 independent stores as your network and support system

If you share our vision, are engaged, successful, ethical, and committed to your campus, we invite you to join us in making good stores better.

As an ICBA Member/Owner, this website not only provides news and general information, but also connects you to a number of valuable ICBA resources such as:

  • ICBA Forums – to ask questions, find answers, and share resources including:
    • Market Share - marketing and promotional materials
