Bound to Stay Bound

Over 20,000 high-circulating titles in Bound to Stay Bound’s lifetime-guaranteed binding are now available for the first time to Brodart’s public library customers.

BTSB books are searchable in Bibz, by prebind format. All BTSB books ordered through Brodart are fully cataloged and processed, according to customer specifications.

We are also excited to offer AV2 World Languages titles, available as guaranteed library bound editions in English. The purchase of every AV2 World Languages print book gives the user free online access to that same book — in audio e-book format — translated into 17 different languages! Check out the demo.

Build Your Community Literacy Hub

With over 40 states adopting reading instruction tied to the Science of Reading, parents and caregivers are heading to the public library in search of appropriate reading materials. Our exclusive partnership with the nonprofit Teach My Kid to Read, led by literacy experts and librarians who have built the Literacy@YourLibrary community, will help you gain knowledge and acquire resources for learners in your library.

Contact us with questions or to begin building your Literacy Hub with books fully cataloged and processed through Brodart!
