The Yorkshire Book Consortium was formed over 20 years ago, to ensure best value and practice in the book supply and servicing arena. It joined with the North West Libraries Consortium some years later. The current contract is due to run out in May 2023, and arrangements need to be made to ensure the effective management, selection and supply of a hard-working, best value, customer-focused stock. underpins it. Building a comprehensive, high-quality stock, matching provision to community needs; improving availability and speed of supply, securing best value prices; and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of procurement and management processes are therefore essential activities for all public libraries, and joining libraries authorities into a purchasing consortium allows for improved discounts and services.
