What's Happening?
Follett Content has launched the Follett Street Date Program, a new service allowing public libraries to preorder high-demand adult titles before their official release dates. This initiative is part of Follett's efforts to expand its services for public libraries following
the closure of Baker & Taylor. The program aims to help libraries meet patron expectations by ensuring that popular titles are available for circulation on their release dates, thereby enhancing library services and patron satisfaction.
Why It's Important?
The Follett Street Date Program addresses a critical need for public libraries to manage high-demand titles effectively. By allowing libraries to preorder books, Follett helps them maintain relevance and meet the expectations of patrons who are increasingly accustomed to immediate access to new releases. This service not only supports libraries in managing their collections more efficiently but also strengthens Follett's position in the library services market. As libraries continue to adapt to changing consumer behaviors, such initiatives are vital for maintaining their role as key community resources.
