See what our Libraries are Saving
The UK's Public Libraries procure foreign-language stock from Books Asia, CILLA (a consortium of 7 Indic booksellers), and a handful of specialist suppliers.
Buying from Books Asia could save your library over £2,000 per year in fees alone. That's equivalent to an extra 150 books for your readers.
