Librarian's Resources
"No other source offers such a wide range of literary titles-- we always look to SPD for our small press purchases, and they've been an invaluable resource for us as we've expanded our specialty collections." —Lynne Cutler, Oakland Public Library
Standing Order Approval Plans
We want to make it easier for you to get small press books into the hands of your patrons! Our Standing Order Approval Programs are always custom-tailored, so no request is too specific or too general. One of our most sucessful programs, SPD's Standing Order service is already in place, easing the order process for two dozen university and public libraries, including New York Public Library, Notre Dame, Iowa, Duke, and many others.
Libraries can specify parameters to suit the needs of their collections, focusing on publishers of interest in their community or subject matter that appeals most to their patrons.
