School Services
We work with schools to supply orders, curate libraries, bring book fairs and organise author events.
If you would like to discuss any of the below, please email us at admin@childrensbookshoplondon.co.uk or call us on 0208 444 5500
Orders
We're happy to handle book orders for schools. These can be phoned through or emailed. Free delivery service and compettive discounts!
Author Visits
We can help find authors to visit schools, and support visits by providing books. We do not charge for this service, and often in conjunction with a supporting publisher, we can arrange visits for free. We do give priority to regular school customers for free visits, but please get in touch if you'd like us to organise anything. (Please give us as much notice as possible for World Book Day!)
Inclusivity
When making selections we pick with an aim to make the selection as inclusive as possible.
We can also put together selections of books with a specific focus (i.e. BAME; neurodiverse; etc).
Libraries
We create bespoke libraries for schools and colleges. We can tailor these to the budget or put together a proposal. With pre-existing libraries we would normally undertake a (free) audit to gain a sense of the space.
Talks
We're happy to visit schools, colleges and universities and talk to teachers, lecturers, tutors or students about books on specific topics, or about reading for pleasure in general - let us know if you'd like us to visit!.
Open Evenings
We welcome teachers, librarians and lecturers at any time and - with prior notice - can open in an evening to allow a group to browse and purchase in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Alternatively we can send out specific selection boxes for people in education to look through.
We can provide books for fairs and events. The books are carefully chosen after a discussion with someone from the institution. The books may be for children themselves or for purchase by parents, teachers, Where possible we'll be on hand to accompany the fair and provide our expert advice.

Book Fairs and Conferences
Book Banding
For schools using banded readers, we can put together picks of banded books. These are normally a mix of ''real' books that we have banded and books from specific schemes. We can also include picture books.
Posters
We can provide free book posters, display material, bookmarks and stickers!
