Independent College Bookstore Association (ICBA) is a membership organization dedicated to independently operated college stores. Founded in 1927 and based in Chicago, Illinois, the association supports the ongoing independence of these stores as the most effective way to serve campus stakeholders. It delivers value through education, networking, and vendor-partner programs that complement a store’s local expertise and operational needs. The ICBA has a network of more than 200 member stores across the United States and Canada and emphasizes equal opportunity in its employment practices. In March 2025, the organization announced a partnership with Recover Brands to advance sustainable apparel initiatives for college campuses.
