Something my colleague and I have decided for this year is to spend our budget dollars, when possible, with vendors that exhibit at MASL. We discussed it and decided that it would be best for us to support those who are helping to support MASL. We will also only make appointments with sales reps from those companies. We are spending less of our time on sales appointments.  Not sure this fits in the category of "best" practice - but it is something we are doing.
Maggie, thanks for this interesting little idea. You are leveraging your dollars in ways that keep working for MASL which keeps working for school librarians who keep working for Missouri students. Good work!

Barnes and Noble and Follett are not interested in this at all.  I talked the owner of Main Street Books in St. Charles and the idea scared her, the volume and shipping seemed to be too intimidating.  

If I owned a book store, I would be at MASL, and I would be offering a sweet deal to all the librarians: a great price and a MASL Reader Award straight percentage.    There has to be willing partner in the state somewhere.

I wonder if Puddin Head Books in Webster Groves would be interested - at least for those schools on this side of the state.

If one doesn't attend Spring Conference, I can't think of any listing we have that members could refer to. This may be something that we need to think about.
