Librarians do more than stamp and shelve books and tell people to be quiet. Your job is tough, your responsibilities vast, and your support, at most, is minimal

No need to go at it alone. Trust Ingram to get the right books on your shelves on time so you can better concentrate on your most important priority—your readers.

Ingram offers public and K-12 libraries access to a huge inventory of library books from—print and electronic—covering an extensive catalog of subjects, all delivered at top speeds. With cutting-edge, automated order and collection development technology, over 350 cumulative years of in-house library expertise, and a bevy of other customizable services, Ingram is well poised to help your library today and into the future.

Public Libraries

More than just a depository for library books, public libraries fulfill a major role in the growth of their community. They serve as a place of life long learning and engagement, but they’re also a business with set budgets.

When funding depends on your perceived presence in the community, and reaching the community means having all the right books along with everything the modern patrons expects, our public library services have you from shelf to stock room.

  • Huge selection of print and electronic titles
  • Video game and movies
  • Order and collection development services
  • Knowledgeable customer relations and marketing assistance

K-12 Libraries

Even with the backing of schools K-12 libraries are typically smaller than publics libraries, and usually have even smaller budgets. This makes it even more challenging to meet strict standards and provide library resources that correspond to the constantly evolving landscape of education.

While your focus is more specific, you also have to consider the teachers, administrators, and parents closely scrutinizing your library supplies. Ingram helps relieves that pressure with library services tailored to your needs so you can better serve your school.

  • Vast inventory covering most subjects for any grade levels
  • Smarter technology for improved library book filtration
  • Wide selection of formats students and teachers require
