Have you ever considered why some educators order books from PreK-12 distributors instead of consumer retailers? Besides these distributors specializing in providing educational materials tailored to school and classroom libraries, there are several other key reasons for this practice:
- Curated Collections: Collections are designed to meet the educational needs of students, as well as school curricula and guidelines. We can provide you with a custom curation that will help you reach your specific goals.
- Special Pricing: Book distributors’ large-volume special pricing for multi-classroom orders or large library orders makes it more cost-effective to acquire multiple copies of books or sets. We provide custom book quotes that fit your school’s budget.
- Cataloging Services: Available services include library and classroom book set processing services, such as cataloging, labeling, barcoding, and covering, plus delivering books shelf-ready which saves educators time and effort. We also offer white-glove delivery services for new schools or large book orders where our staff unpacks, shelves books, and cleans up the packaging for you!
- Educational Standards: We offer relevant information such as reading levels, genres, and reading programs to help you determine if the books meet your school’s standards.
- Convenience: User-friendly catalogs, online ordering systems, and customer support simplify the process of finding and acquiring books compared to standard consumer retailers.
- Access to Popular and Diverse Titles: Book distributors prioritize having a wide range of titles, including best-sellers, award winners, and diverse authors. This ensures classrooms and libraries can cater to the various interests and backgrounds of all students. Our selection includes more than 375,000 in-stock titles.
- Supplemental Resources: Many school book distributors also offer supplemental materials such as teacher’s guides, activities, and multimedia resources that enhance the educational value of the books and can’t easily be found elsewhere. Learn how to search for free teaching resources.
