Library Products: Cooperative Purchasing News

TLS (The Library Store) is promoting their massive Warehouse Clearance Sale, where libraries can save up to 81% on select stock items, including furniture, shelving, supplies, and décor. This is an excellent, time-sensitive opportunity to browse deeply discounted items for your library spaces. Also, a quick reminder of your year-round Minitex contract discount and how it works alongside—or rather in lieu of—the clearance pricing.

The November/December 2025 "Library Laughs & Oddities" newsletter from Sentry Custom Security features the unique Water Tank Library in Muthuini, Kenya.; as well as a chance to win a $5,000 gift certificate.

As part of Minitex's Vendor Spotlights, we're highlighting the CoLibrì System, a fast and innovative way to cover and protect books. The system's machine-controlled process covers books in just 30 seconds using durable, clear, and eco-friendly covers. Libraries can take advantage of a 15% discount on the system through Minitex Cooperative Purchasing.

Upgrade your Sentry System or old 3M System and get a free pack of EM Labels. The Sentry RT Controller upgrades Sentry and 3M systems, enhancing tag detection and enabling remote diagnostics.
