Baker & Taylor has bought "certain assets" of Book Wholesalers, Inc., a company owned by Follett Corporation that specializes in providing children's and YA books and AV materials to public libraries. The purchase follows Follett School & Library Group's decision to concentrate on the pre-K-12 market.
"In this process, we felt it was imperative to find a distributor that would continue to provide outstanding service levels for our BWI customers," said Todd Litzsinger, president of Follett Library Resources. "Baker & Taylor is the right partner and the best choice to continue BWI's legacy."
