Just starting or Updating? – Are you starting a new language collection or updating your current material? Then look no further than OBD! Simply provide us with your budget, deadline and an outline of materials needed, and we will provide you with the highest-quality and most current materials available in your requested language.

Blanket or Automatic Release Program - (ARP) orders for material in any language are welcomed.

Binding Services - To increase the shelf-life of books, we can now provide binding services at an additional fee.

Standing Order - OBD has set up a standing order program where our staff will select the latest releases, most popular titles, classics, children's, award winners and any other subjects that would be of interest to your library's patrons.

There are several ways to set up a standing order program:
1. You can decide on a specific amount per month/year to spend on the Foreign Language Books & DVDs. Or you can decide on a fixed number of New Release Books & DVDs supplied per month/year and we will bill you for the total amount dependant upon the titles.

2. To initiate the order, either send confirmation via email stating how you would like the order to be processed and executed or send in a purchase order for the titles and/or dollar amount per month over the year.

3. We can offer you popular titles, new releases, classics, award winning titles or any mix of the above.

Please note that standing order programs exist for all of our languages. Including but not limited to: Greek, Italian, Turkish, Hungarian, Cambodian (Khmer), Chinese, Tagalog, Thai, and all languages of the Asia Pacific & Indian Subcontinent.
