NASHVILLE, Tenn. - [April 7, 2026] - Ingram Library Services ("ILS"), a division of Ingram Content Group ("Ingram"), announces a new partnership with Bound to Stay Bound Books ("BTSB"), a trusted provider of durable, high-quality prebound children's books for schools and libraries nationwide. This collaboration expands Ingram's catalog of high-quality materials for libraries.

Through this partnership, Ingram will offer BTSB's reinforced editions-recognized for their superior binding, exceptional durability, and long shelf life-directly through its ordering and distribution platforms.

"We are eager to expand access to Bound to Stay Bound's exceptional, library-quality books through this distribution agreement," says Carolyn Morris, Vice President of Library Services, Ingram Content Group. "Public libraries need juvenile collections that can stand up to years of enthusiastic use, and the BTSB Difference delivers exactly that-durable, well-constructed books designed to last. This partnership reinforces our shared commitment to helping libraries build long-lasting collections that support young readers and promote literacy for years to come."

Bound to Stay Bound's reinforced library editions, known for their rigorous construction and child-friendly design, have long been a staple for youth services librarians. Integrating BTSB titles into Ingram's distribution network provides libraries with:

• Broader Access: Order BTSB editions through familiar Ingram workflows, including ipage® and standing order programs.
• Faster Fulfillment: Centralized shipping and consolidated invoicing through Ingram's national distribution network.
• Streamlined Collection Development: Select BTSB editions alongside other Ingram formats, services, and tools.

"For more than a century, Bound to Stay Bound has believed that the physical quality of a book matters-especially for young readers who put their books to enthusiastic use," says Lori Smith, Vice President and General Manager, Bound to Stay Bound Books. "Our mission has always been to help libraries provide books that are built to last. Partnering with Ingram Content Group enables us to extend the reach of our prebound collections to more libraries through a trusted, efficient distribution network. Together, we're making it easier for libraries to access durable, high-quality juvenile and young adult titles that support literacy, learning, and a lifelong love of reading."
