SIBA Offers Travel Grants for March Madness Bookseller Series

Date postedJanuary 26, 2026
Posted By: Nicki Leone in Events and Networking,

New to 2026, SIBA is offering up to 50 travel grants of $100/each to booksellers who travel 75+ miles each way to attend a March Madness gathering. Although March Madness programming is free to SIBA members, we know that travel is expensive, and we want to offset your costs. 

Eligibility:

  • Reimbursement will be sent after the event, once attendance is confirmed.
  • One travel grant per store.
  • Limited to 50 booksellers total.
