Welcome to PBS

Welcome to the Professional Booksellers School, the only place for bookseller-led professional development. We're here to provide the classes and courses that help booksellers create careers, improve within their job roles, and improve the bottom line for their bookstores.

PBS has worked with more than 400 bookstores across the US, and certified more than 300 booksellers in our first four years.

You can support your store and build your career starting by clicking "Join" in the bar at the top of the page. Membership is free, and joining adds you to our e-mail list, where you'll get the latest news on upcoming courses and enrollment.

PBS works closely with all 8 Regional Trade Associations, which offer tuition discounts and rebates to their active members.

Please add your bookstore too!  In our system, individuals are listed as "members" and bookstores as "nonmembers," but that's technical information. We welcome information on your stores.
