Librarians and Educators

We know that librarians and educators need a reliable and knowledgeable source they can turn to for their children's book resources. We have been providing just such a service in Australia for thirty years.

Let us do the searching instead. There is no extra charge. Simply place an order for a Standing Order and receive the new books you want as soon as they available in Australia.

Warehouse Visits

Outs stockholding is extensive, with about 60,000 titles held at any one time. Librarians are welcome to visit and make their own selections off the shelves. Finding enough books to stock a new library is an enormous task for any librarian. We can help by providing backlist of classics and popular series, as well as all the new books and award winners.

Australian Curriculum

The feedback we receive from teacher-librarians right across Australia is that they want a single source where they can review and select resources that can be used when teaching the Australian Curriculum. Our titles are coded to make this selection a smooth process. Some of the books have previews on our website, so potential users can judge the font, layout, writing standard and content.
