ESL and Adult Literacy Vendors
by Geiken, Laura 12 Oct '21

12 Oct '21

Hello, I recently took over ordering for the ESL and literacy collection at my library. In the past, we have ordered from Grass Roots Press, New Reader Press, and Compass Publishing, but I would like to explore other vendors. If you know of any great companies or vendors that specialize in ESL and adult literacy materials, would you please message me off list? I'm particularly interested in those that offer materials for Arabic speakers, but I'm open to any recommendations you have! Thank you!
