The Exchange, for example, uses the regional and industry focus of the NEIBA site to advertise bookstore job openings in a very targeted way to the most likely prospects, New Englanders in the book business. Publishers seeking to fill positions with persons having retail bookselling experience also benefit from its targeted reach.

NEIBA members, publishers and booksellers, are free to post classifieds for help wanted, positions sought and for re-selling goods and services such as used fixtures, inventory, surplus supplies and other items that bookstores may wish to purchase from other stores.

Postings are free to members. NEIBA will not sell space on the NEIBA Exchange.

Non-members wishing to post classifieds must contact NEIBA Executive Director Rusty Drugan at rusty@neba.org for permission. Only postings that might potentially benefit members such as “bookstore wanted” or “help wanted” or “positions wanted” will be permitted.

The NEIBA Exchange is not intended for marketing titles from publishers or for other vendors such as wholesalers or fixture companies to market their goods and services to bookstores.

It is, rather, a clearinghouse for members to reach each other with information about jobs, stores for sale or purchase and re-selling merchandise or goods already purchased as when stores close and offer their inventory and fixtures to other stores.

Postings by NEIBA members on the NEIBA Exchange first require registration of the store or firm that is a member.

Click on the "Register" button for NEIBA Exchange and follow the instructions. Once registered, members can post offerings as frequently as they wish. Each member is solely responsible for the accuracy of its postings.

The NEIBA Exchange and the New England Booksellers Association are not responsible for any errors. To keep the site up to date, members must renew their postings every week or every two weeks, your choice.

The NEIBA listserv will no longer post individual classifieds from members as they arrive. Instead, every Friday, all the classifieds received at the NEIBA Exchange during that week will be collected and sent out to the members via the listserv, along with a link to the Exchange for those who wish to see what else is still available.

Members still receive the listserv benefit of a timely email announcement but now their classifieds are also featured on the NEIBA website for non-members to view.
