“. . .  where ideas sleep between covers, waiting for you to discover them — Lois Ehlert

Did you know that in addition to the many book product standing order programs we offer, we also have three Video Standing Order Programs? Managed by a true expert in the industry, our video programs offer the best in DVD and Blu-ray™ format for libraries.

Ingram's We Recommend Standing Order Program offers the latest blockbusters, independent and foreign films, and cinema classics debuting on DVD and Blu-ray. Your profile determines the movies that make your individualized order list each month. Titles are then shipped to arrive before their national street date.

Our other two programs, Adult Series and Youth Series, offer the most comprehensive in video for these age groups. Ingram’s Adult Series Program provides automatic ordering of documentaries, wellness programs, instructional videos, TV series, and musical and theatrical performances produced by BBC, PBS, WGBH, KOCH, and many others. Our Youth Series Program provides the latest video series and popular features for kids from preschool to middle school, including those produced by Porchlight Entertainment, Big Idea, Baby Einstein, HIT Entertainment, FUNimation and VIZ.

For more information about our video programs, visit the Sight & Sound tab or contact us at (800) 937-5300 Ext. 35748 or via e-mail at standing.orders@ingrambook.com.

Our library is working with our community to create a city wide reading project. The committee has just approved the title, which means I need to get a large number of copies into our library before it is announced to the public. I've checked with several other vendors and the title is not available. Can you help?

Ingram can help! We often work with communities promoting reading initiatives. Our involvement varies depending on the request. If the committee’s selection is a current title, it is likely that we have it in stock and available for purchase on ipage®. If the selected title is more obscure, we can often work with the publisher to fill the request quickly. Just contact your Account Manager, who will be happy to lend assistance.




Sincerely,
