Save up to 15% on large and small orders
It's the time of the year when many libraries really start getting down to the serious business of ordering, or even re-ordering titles which maybe other suppliers are striking out on, or never heard of. Which is why this is an excellent time for Alibris for Libraries to promote our selection and service with some serious savings, including lower prices on millions of titles.

Use Alibris as a Secondary Vendor for unfilled open orders
So many libraries are using us as a straight-up firm order vendor for new, used, and otherwise easy-to-find books—including, but not just hard-to-find or out-of-print titles—that we're morphing into a primary secondary vendor, if you will. We're certainly offering the widest selection available, and we've got many of the hands-on and high-touch services you would expect from a "regular" firm order vendor—including free shipping—without the nameless/faceless aspects of many mega-websites. If your library has unfilled open orders and wants to get them filled carefully and quickly, come to Alibris for Libraries—we're happy to help turn "on order" into "on the shelf."
We're also a Primary Vendor for older imprints
Meanwhile, we're also well-situated to serve as a primary vendor for older imprints. You can pick your own cut-off date, but lots of libraries turn to Alibris for Libraries first for any items with publication dates of 2009 or older—assuming that other primary vendors would have to turn to secondary markets in any case, due to short print runs and even shorter warehousing capacities. With our network of 20,000 independent sellers, Alibris for Libraries has 20,000 warehouses feeding our database of millions and millions of in-stock, ready-to-ship books, movies, and music items.
Save time with our Want List Matching System
Anytime you may have a list of known-items your library is looking to acquire, you really should give our Want List Matching System a try. Once your list is uploaded, you can search our database for your whole list with just one click—we can even mediate the entire process, and issue a report of matches. Just let us know anytime you want to get started with matching your wants. And take a look at what some of your colleagues have to say about our Matching Services.
Alibris Tip: Choose Direct Shipping for fastest service
Our Direct Shipping option can help you get your books faster, by bypassing our warehouse. However, many of these shipments are not trackable. Please pay extra attention to these orders and let us know as soon as possible if you do not receive an expected shipment so we can intercede on your behalf if necessary.
