The San Bernardino County Library is pleased to welcome Brodart and Libraria as new book vendors, marking an important step in strengthening the County Library’s collection ordering process and ensuring customers continue to have access to new and popular titles.
The transition follows a significant shift within the library and publishing industries after the end of Baker & Taylor’s longstanding role as a major supplier of books and materials to libraries. Like library systems across the country, the County Library has been working to transition its ordering processes and establish relationships with new vendors.
The County Library recognizes that this industry-wide transition has resulted in delays in the arrival of some new materials and sincerely apologizes to customers who have been waiting longer than expected for new and requested titles.
