Information for Libraries

Acquisition librarians will find us easy to work with.  We go the extra mile when it comes to servicing our public sector customers.  We understand that you have limited acquisitions budgets and staff shortages, and try to make the process from buying to shelving as simple as possible.

Buying our Books

Our books may be purchased through your usual book ording channels.  That means that if you normally purchase through Baker & Taylor (like most large library systems) then you can find all of our titles available in their Title Source II database for online ordering.  Or, if you are in the minority of libraries who purchase from the Ingram Book Group, then you can order our titles directly through their system.

Many libraries, however, order through library distributors or other library service companies (a.k.a. "jobbers").  Many of our titles are available to the library market through our distributors Quality Books and Unique Books.  And we work with most of the major jobbers consolidating orders from multiple publishers to simplify your purchasing and cataloging process:  Coutts Library Services, S&B Books, and others.

Ordering Direct

Some libraries choose to order directly from us.  We offer special promotions two times per year to the library market, in spring and in the fall, often with 20% off (or more!) on our titles and free shipping on large orders.  If you are interested in being notified of our next promotion, and receiving the promotional materials, please sign up for our acquisitions librarian mailing list:

If you wish to place a direct order, and you are located in Canada or the U.S.A., you may fax your purchase order to (905) 986-5777 or send it via email to orders@mmpubs.com.  (Sorry, no purchase orders accepted for libraries outside of Canada and the U.S.A.)

Alternately, you may pay via credit card.  We accept Visa, MasterCard, and American Express.  Please place your order by calling our order desk at (905) 986-5848 from 9am-5pm Mon-Fri Eastern time or sending your order and shipping information along with your credit card information via fax to (905) 986-5777.

Buying Digital Audiobooks and eBooks

If you are a library interested in distributing digital content to your patrons, you are not alone.  Digital content distribution is one of the fastest-growing areas in the public library system, and as pioneers in ebook publishing since the late 1980s, we have been at the forefront of this revolution.  Our ebooks and audiobooks are available in libraries all across the U.S.A. and Canada through Overdrive's Content Reserve system.  Through Content Reserve, libraries can obtain licenses to digital content which they can securely "lend" to their patrons through download to their home computers, iPodsTM, smart phones, or other similar devices.

In some cases, CIP data was not available yet at the time of printing.  For these products, please contact the publisher at orders@mmpubs.com about CIP data availability.

Some older fiction books have Library of Congress numbers in them, obtained by our Crystal Dreams Publishing division before it was acquired by Multi-Media Publications in November 2007.
