Note

Bound to Stay Bound is an optional Alexandria integration. Contact our Sales Team if you're interested in adding it to your library!

Alexandria proudly partners with Bound to Stay Bound Books (BTSB), specializing in providing your library with the best children's books, media products, and related services—all able to withstand abuse and hard usage thanks to their high-quality pre-binding. When integrated with Alexandria, libraries can set up imports that automatically add newly ordered BTSB items to their collection.


How do I get started?
  1. Contact our Sales team at 1-800-347-6439 or sales@goalexandria.com and ask about our Online Services bundle. They will help you add BTSB to your subscription, and you will receive a confirmation email.
  2. Contact Bound to Stay Bound and give them your Alexandria serial number and site code.
  3. Enable imports in Alexandria's Bound to Stay Bound Preferences and Tools.


Note

If you have import questions, contact Alexandria Customer Support at 1-800-347-4942 or support@goalexandria.com. If you have questions about your BTSB order or MARC records, contact Bound to Stay Bound.
