Bound to Stay Bound


Last Updated: $action.dateFormatter.formatDateTime($content.getLastModificationDate())

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 to automatically add newly ordered BTSB items to their collection.
