[ISLMA-Share] Book Providers

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi:

I like Bound To Stay Bound for State Award Nominee Books. They are based in Jacksonville, IL and are timely in processing orders. I think they are probably in line with other hard back pricing, though.  Once on their site, you can look up any of a particular State’s nominee books. Our Elementary School participates in the Monarch and Bluestem book voting, so I generally order books through BTSB, if I have any Per Capita funds available. They have also sent me the Posters of the Nominee books, so my younger students have that visual aspect in order to help them chose what they would like to read.

Thanks,

Laura O’Brien

I found Amazon more expensive in many cases.  If you are looking for current state book award nominee Lake Cook Distributors has good prices.

Hello!

Budget cuts!! I'm looking to find a good book provider.

Follett is too expensive for my district to purchase all of our books from there (even with the discounts you can get as a school and the free shipping). Are there any particular providers that you love, that give great deals (are cheaper overall than Follett), and have a great selection? 

I'm trying to avoid Amazon if I can for now.

 

Thank you,
