Please be patient with Taylor Community Library and other Michigan Public Libraries when it comes to new books in the coming weeks and months! Recently, we received word that Baker & Taylor, the primary wholesaler/supplier of books and other materials to libraries that has been in business for 100+ years, laid off the majority of its staff and will cease operations in January 2026.
This has left libraries scrambling to find alternative suppliers for new books. This can take some time to accomplish, largely because those alternative suppliers are overwhelmed with the influx of new library business. Libraries are working very hard to make this transition to new suppliers as quickly as possible, but in the meantime, there may be some delays when it comes to the receipt of new books.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and support during this transition!
