Junior Library Guild (JLG) is a literary

review and selection service for children’s and young-adult books

serving school and public libraries, established in 1929,

and used by more than 17,000 librarians today.

Great books all year long

For each reading level you order, you’ll receive one new-release hardcover book every month for one year. Selected books are hot off the presses . . . before they’ve earned awards and favorable reviews. Plus, monthly delivery means that you’ll have new materials every single month, all year long. Even at the end of the year when your budget money is spent, you’ll still have the newest books coming to your library.

Shipping and handling are always FREE for JLG members

And remember: if a book fails to arrive in top condition, we’ll replace it at

NO CHARGE.

Books that last

With the exception of some graphic novels, all JLG Selections are hardcover first editions. And all come with the highest quality binding available. If any book fails to meet your expectations for durability, ever, we’ll replace it. Period.

You’ll always know what books are coming

Our editors pick books twice each year. As soon as we have the new list of JLG selections, we contact all members via email to let them know what’s coming. In addition, all members will receive our full color posters featuring cover art of all monthly selections. And here on our website, members can download the list of forthcoming titles in all 30 reading levels as well as view and manage personalized lists. You can see what’s scheduled to ship to your library and quickly and easily make substitutions to create a service that fits your library perfectly.

Accessible, must-have information on all JLG selections

With each month’s books, you’ll also receive the current issue of JLG Monthly. This member-exclusive publication is filled with helpful book summaries and reviews, author and artist biographies, curriculum indications for classroom support, and Dewey classifications. You get valuable, useful information right at your fingertips—free with your membership. As each issue is published, its full content is made available only to members here on our website.

Save big on new-release books

As a JLG member you’ll pay only $167.40 for each reading level you order. That’s just $13.95 for each new-release, first edition book with no added shipping or handling charges.

Save even more on backlist titles

Choose from more than 850 titles in our backlist at members-only pricing (as little as $5.00 per book)—including dozens of web-exclusives.
