The BEST First-Edition Hardcovers and Graphic Novels
You’ll have complete confidence as a member of Junior Library Guild, knowing that every book is cream of the crop. Our discerning editorial staff works as a review service on your behalf—poring over more than 3,000 manuscripts before arriving at the chosen 336 that are named Junior Library Guild Premier Selections.
The BEST Accolades
The distinction of being named a JLG Premier Selection is just the beginning. Of those 336 carefully selected books, many go on to receive other prestigious awards including the Newbery Medal, the Caldecott Medal, and the National Book Award. In addition, 95% of our titles receive favorable reviews from the publications you trust most, including Booklist, School Library Journal, and many others.
The BEST Prices
As a member, you’ll pay just $13.25 for each first-edition hardcover or graphic novel. That’s a discount of up to 55% off the publishers’ price, plus you receive FREE shipping and handling. Where else can you find award-winning books at such a reasonable cost?
The BEST Selection for ALL Grade Levels
JLG selections go beyond children’s books—we also offer a wealth of hardcovers for young adults. There are 28 reading levels in all, covering pre-school through high school. Additional levels for special interests such as sports, nonfiction, and mystery and adventure also help round out your collection.
As a JLG member, you receive twelve brand-new hardcover books each year, shipped upon publication at the rate of one per month for each reading level in which you enroll.
