Booksellers: Come join us at the Great Midwest Rep Night, our new title presentation party, sponsored by Baker & Taylor and co-hosted by GLIBA and MIBA. Featuring an eclectic group of 10 sales reps presenting their forthcoming titles, this night will be both fun and informative, and give attendees a chance to relax, meet book industry colleagues, and stay informed about new books and authors to feature in the seasons to come. This invite is public, so please share it with your bookselling friends! Bookstore staff only, please.

While GLIBA and MIBA are hosting this event, and Baker & Taylor is sponsoring it, we have a special thank you to share with Javier Ramierz from the Book Table in Oak Park. He has hosted a successful rep night in Chicago for many years and has agreed to collaborate with us this time around. Give him a high five for us when you see him.

Please do us a big favor and RSVP here as well!
