Corey,

Though I also get a few categories from JLG, I use Ingram as our primary vendor
and am very happy with them. I also place direct orders from Capstone Press,
and sometimes do purchase from the “preview box” model via Mid America Books.
As of last year I also use Hicklebee’s in San Jose for our Book Fair, and get
books from them via the portion of profits that I take as store credit.

Best,
Riva

Subject: [baisl] BrainPOP and Preferred Shelf-Ready Vendor?

Hello fellow Bay Area Librarians,

I'm the new librarian at the Keys School in Palo Alto and I and coming in to
some patterns new to me; I'd love to get your perspectives.

Before I got here, I'd never heard of BrainPOP but it seems to be a pretty
common purchase for school districts, considering all the teachers coming from
the local districts have heard of it. Do any of you use it in your schools? I
wonder if there is something more affordable for smaller institutions.

In my last school, we used Ingram as our preferred vendor but I don't see any
book vendor relationship information in my budget beyond Junior Library Guild.
I've called and found out that I can use JLG to purchase individual titles but
I wonder if folks are using any other vendors that I should check out.

Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully meeting some folks soon!

Corey
