Elementary Battle of the Books

Possible Book Vendors

Schools will order books based on individual needs and budget, but most try to have 4-8 copies of each book available for students. Some schools will order 1 to 2 hardcover copies that will remain on the library shelf when not in use, and the remainder in paperback which will be stored during years the books are not on the list.

Paperback copies that will not be cataloged can be ordered from Barnes and Noble or Old Coat. Hardcover copies should be ordered with shelf-ready processing from Follet, Perma-Bound or another library vendor. Donors Choose has been a source of funding for some schools, with paperback books provided by the vendors available through that program.

Best practice is that no more than 5 copies of a book be cataloged in Destiny - more than 5 copies is considered a class set and is against our user agreement.
