Your personal book-selection committee
Book selection is often the highlight of a librarian’s
day—but when that day is fractured into a million
competing priorities, it’s sometimes hard to find
dedicated time for it. This is where our renowned selection team
comes in. Our selectors have an astounding track record of
choosing award-worthy and award-winning titles for our
collection—JLG’s selectors are an extension of your
time and your team.
Nearly 95% of JLG Gold Standard Selections go on to earn starred
or favorable reviews and industry honors and awards.
