MCHENRY, Ill., July 8, 2024 — Follett Content Solutions announced today it is now its own business entity.

Customers will see the latest changes this week in marketing and advertising, social media channels, the launch of a new website at www.follettcontent.com, and all email addresses now ending in @follettcontent.com.
“We are bringing the same great service, but with a refreshed focus on getting the books into the hands of kids,” said Britten Follett, CEO, Follett Content. “We always will answer the call with unique insights and a personalized touch.”

The business updates are just a piece of Follett Content’s growth. Current initiatives include Follett Book eFairs – an online book fundraising offering that helps educators expand their budgets while providing more student access to quality books – that launched this week.
“These are truly exciting times for Follett Content, and we are delighted to share these changes with our customers, teams, and partners,” said Follett, a fifth-generation family member. “As we step into the future, the heart of the brand remains the same while our evolution gains fantastic momentum.”
