Transform library book purchasing with Amazon Business


Amazon Business introduces new capabilities to streamline library book procurement.

Public libraries can now access curated book collections at competitive prices without adding complexity to their vendor management processes. While many U.S. public libraries already purchase office supplies, furniture, and technology from Amazon Business, purchasing books requires a specialized set of tools and capabilities. Now, with Amazon Business Books for Libraries, we’ve combined the savings and selection you already love with dedicated features for libraries.



We worked closely with U.S. public libraries to understand the complexities and pain points in book buying, and are excited to introduce specialized book procurement tools designed to reduce the challenges that selection curators, procurement admins, and librarians face every day. Amazon Business Books for Libraries allows you to streamline your library book purchasing with:

  • Instant MARC Records: Immediate access to Machine-Readable Cataloguing (MARC) records upon purchase to reduce cataloging time and effort
  • Substantial Savings: 30-40% off list price on select new releases, so you can stretch your budget further while offering more reading options to your patrons
  • A dedicated Library Hub: A simplified way to source new, upcoming titles and manage MARC record downloads in one place

“Amazon Business simplifies procurement across library operations, freeing up valuable time for librarians to focus on what matters most."

Brenda Spoonemore, VP, Amazon Business

“Our new MARC record capabilities, library-exclusive pricing, and centralized Library Hub are designed to streamline critical workflows for library book purchasing such as cataloging and identifying the right books to delight patrons.”

Whether you're ordering books, office supplies, IT equipment, or facility maintenance products, Amazon Business has solutions for your library procurement needs. Plus, U.S. public library customers can take advantage of fast, free shipping and member-only offers through Business Prime.
