CLC PRESENTS:

The Kids Hall of Fame!

The best discounts on the best products for children

PART I:

Major Digital Content Providers

CLC now has over 100 discount contracts, and we know it can be hard to keep track of all of the vendors and resources that can help you serve your users. We're here to help break it down for you with our new series of emails highlighting vendors with products for children.

We're kicking off our series with major digital content providers. These five vendors offer thousands of eBooks, eAudiobooks, and/or other digital content for children (and in one case, for adults too). They all offer their own platforms for accessing your collection, but in many cases your purchased content can be imported into any platform you are already using. Some of them you DEFINITELY know about. Others may be new.

As always, if you have questions about these or any other CLC contracts, reach out to your CLC Member Relations Manager, Julie Yulo Medeiros, at [email protected] or 860-740-3042.
