The 2026 Summer Reading Catalog

Now with lower rates for our publisher partners.

Submissions are open for the 2026 NEIBA Summer Reading Catalog

NEIBA is pleased to offer a full-color print and digital Summer Reading Catalog for 2026. This 8-page, full-color, flippable catalog (roughly 4-3/8" x 5-3/4") will feature titles spanning all genres and age groups. Similarly to the Holiday Catalog, NEIBA member bookstores will have the option to imprint the Summer Reading Catalog with their business's logo. Catalogs will ship to stores in mid-May.

Understanding the budget pressure on our publisher partners, NEIBA has lowered our Summer catalog rates by 25%. We hope that this discount will encourage continued participation in this consumer-facing advertising program that both facilitates our member stores' marketing and helps NEIBA continue to provide high-quality education, events, and community for (yes, we're biased) the best bookstores in the country.
