Our order management system – James Bennett Online – is tailor-made for libraries in Australia and New Zealand. We have earned a reputation for fast, professional service, but what makes us really proud is our long history as the tech savvy partner of public libraries.

Today, our powerful profiling tools and expert buyers will enhance your selection decisions. Our unmatched global resources, shelf-ready delivery and technical innovation make James Bennett your library’s essential partner.
