For his first employee purchase, our new Marketing, Communications, & Events Coordinator Chad McKinney went straight for World War I: The Definitive Visual History and Titanic: First Accounts.

Apparently, when given unlimited access to thousands of books, his first thought was: "Tell me more about global conflict and maritime catastrophe."

Welcome aboard, Chad. We can't wait to see what he picks once he discovers books with happy endings.

Have you picked up your Midwest Bookstore Roadmap yet? Someone from our Independent Bookstore Day crawl won April's prize of a $50 gift card! The Midwest Booksellers Association draws every month and there's one annual prize of $500! We've had several winners... stop by & pick yours up today!

🌧️📚 We firmly believe rainy day bookstore hopping is a top-tier activity.

Congratulations to our May Roadmap Contest winner, Sarah! Her rainy-day bookstore adventure through Marquette, MI included visits to Bromley’s Books, Snowbound Books, Bats Amore, and Read My Lips. Her cozy haul photo — featuring books, stickers, and the MIBA Roadmap along for the ride — was randomly selected as this month’s winning entry ✨

Sarah is now $50 closer to her next indie bookstore haul!

And don’t go too far… our grand prize winner announcement is coming later this week 👀📚

Road Trip! Last night we took books down to the lovely Escanaba Public Library for Jim McCommons' talk on his latest book, Feather Wars. Not only does this book have local content, but it's getting national attention - both the NYT and WSJ reviewed it. AND, Jim is becoming quite the celebrity, with recent appearances on Steve Rinella's MeatEater podcast and BookTV on CNN. We'll be doing several more events with Jim - go to snowboundbooks.com for details.
