📢 Announcement: Baker & Taylor (B&T) - one of the largest distributors of books - announced that it will be ceasing operations. B&T was the primary book supplier for Fort Bend County Libraries (FBCL), and they have played a vital role in helping FBCL get popular authors and titles quickly. Unlike many other vendors – such as Amazon – B&T provided additional services that were designed specifically to support the needs of public libraries.

FBCL is actively working with other book vendors to have our supply of new materials to normal levels. We are prioritizing high-demand titles and items with existing holds to minimize disruptions for our patrons.

While we have been experiencing some delays and disruptions in receiving new materials, we're working closely with our vendors and County Purchasing to get everything back on track. You can expect to see an influx of new popular authors/titles being received over the next few weeks.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate through this major transition in our materials acquisition process.
