Junior Library Guild - Supporting Librarians Since 1929

There seems to be two kinds of librarians: those who have never heard of JLG, and those who love it. The reason for that is pretty simple -- once you get a taste of the fantastic books our editors select each and every month, become spoiled by the service you'll receive from our account team, and get hooked on our low prices (just $13.25 for new releases, and as low as $5.00 for backlist books - all with free shipping) you'll never want to do without JLG either.

 

Here's what a few of your colleagues have to say:

 

You continue to offer an outstanding program. In addition to serving as an elementary school specialist, I teach ed media classes at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. I always share your catalog with new media folks in class. We continue to be astounded by your high quality and low price. Thank you.”

—Catherine Beyers
Southern Bluffs Elementary School
La Crosse, Wisconsin

 

“I really admire the selections. Every title has been one I would have chosen myself for our library. I appreciate that JLG has done the extra work to free my time for other efforts.”

—Kathryn Shepler
Aurora School Library
Oakland, California


“I look forward to receiving JLG books each month and keep the resource catalog on my desk to avoid duplication. Any book I receive from JLG will make some best book list.”
—Ann Lhota
Bellerose Avenue Elementary School
East Northport, New York


“As a fifteen-year subscriber, I have often been impressed with the quality of your subscription. I have recommended the JLG to several other junior high media specialists and each one has thanked me.”
—Patricia Powell
West Junior High School
Columbia, Missouri


“The selections show great care and very high standards. I have always been pleased with the selections. Quite often, I see reviews and plan to purchase a title, and then it appears from JLG. Excellent quality at an excellent price.”
—Joan Theal
Milton Hershey School
Hershey, Pennsylvania


“Subscriptions to all...levels of Junior Library Guild are a godsend for public librarians! The quality, content, and reasonable cost of the books are excellent. The majority of the Guild’s monthly selections have been children and youth award-winning titles that we would have needed to purchase. This can be a real time saver for any librarian.”
—Sue M. Hayes
Library Director
Austin Memorial Library
Cleveland, Texas


“Junior Library Guild books are great! I consider my subscription dollars very well spent. I receive new titles by well-known authors, along with titles by future greats. Junior Library Guild does an excellent job in matching the right books to the reading levels. The reading and interest levels are right on for my middle grade students. I am not a 'joiner' of mail-order book clubs, but I will be a lifetime subscriber to the Junior Library Guild.”
—Bonnie Odd
Spring Creek Middle School
Providence, Utah


I love getting new books every month, particularly when our funding is gone for the year. Most of these books would have been choices for our library and the others are pleasant surprises.”
—Jane Forte
Ridgefield Public Library

We love your selections. I couldn’t have done better had I selected them myself.”
—Mary Nate
Bear Lake County Library

“Our Junior Library Guild subscriptions have afforded our libraries not only with superb low price but most importantly, excellent quality of children's literature. With stagnant budgets and the skyrocketing price of books, JLG is the panacea to keep our libraries up to date in maintaining our collection. Where else could one find award-winning books at a reasonable cost?”
—Leticia Alere
MacCandless and Allen Elementary Schools
Hutchinson, Kansas


“Purchasing books for eight libraries can be time consuming. I am very happy to receive fifty-four books from nine levels each month from JLG. I am delighted with their high quality, excellent service, and great prices.
—Susan Conger, Youth Services Coordinator
Carbon County Library System
Rawlins, Wyoming


“We’ve had our subscription to the Junior Library Guild for fourteen years and I've always been pleased with the quality of their book selection and with the fact that many of the books become award winners. Their catalogue, which contains book summaries, author biographies, and curriculum connections, is a wealth of information that I use almost every day.”
—Shari Braly, Media Specialist
Louisville Middle School
