Determine the purpose for buying children’s books in bulk.
Choose your titles and quantity if you have specific book titles and quantity in mind. If you don’t need a specific title, you will have more choices when it comes to buying in bulk. You can search online for titles or request a book catalog from publishers. Audio books are also available.
Check the publisher’s policy for buying children’s books. Different quantities will get you different discounts, depending on your purpose. In addition, you may be able to request additional free classroom materials such as kits and posters that are normally available to teachers.
Consider an online book seller. Sites such like the website of Barnes and Noble sell books by bulk. The discounts and order process depend on the quantity ordered. This may not be available from a brick and mortar store. See the Resources section for the link to the website.
Search online for “how to buy children’s books in bulk” and study the search results. There may be resources you didn’t know about. There are self-published book authors with quality children’s books you may want to consider because not every worthwhile book finds a place on a traditional publisher’s list.
Buy from an online liquidator. If you can’t find the books you want online, sources such as Book Liquidators can often find them in their offline inventory. You will find the link to the website under our Resources section.
Look for used books on Ebay, if used books are acceptable. You can find books in quantity in pristine condition. You can also find other sources for used books by searching online.
