3 Ways to Simplify Bulk Book Orders for Schools

Time is increasingly valuable as education budgets tighten and schools must do more with less. Streamlining your recurring and time-consuming administrative tasks is one way to give time back to your educators. Bulk book ordering, processing, and delivery services from Follett Content will alleviate stress and free your teachers and staff to focus on your students.

Start Your Orders with Curated Book Lists
Finding the right books for your students can be a challenge if you lack time for research or don’t have a certified librarian on staff. Luckily, Follett Content offers expertly curated book lists to aid your efforts. Organized by topic and theme by certified librarians, these annually updated lists are an excellent starting point when placing an order or creating your own lists.

Plus, if you have specific needs based on a curriculum, student population, genre, or theme, we can provide free custom book lists tailored to your specifications and budget.
Save Time with a Cataloging and Processing Profile
When you set up a Follett Content Cataloging and Processing Profile, all orders thereafter are processed to meet your specifications, ensuring consistent labels, binding, and protective covers like mylar, lamination, or FollettBound. It’s a simple way to streamline your ordering and distribution process, making it easier to catalog, track, and protect your literary investments.
Organize Deliveries by Classroom, Genre, and More
Count on helpful delivery options to simplify large orders like stocking a brand-new library, purchasing books for multiple classrooms, or adopting a new core curriculum. We’ll pack and label your delivery boxes by specific classroom or library, allowing for quick and easy unpacking and distribution. We’ll even pack your books in True Dewey or genre order, saving your teachers and staff invaluable time.

Our White Glove service simplifies things further by offering unpacking, shelving, and cleanup assistance with deliveries.
