I recently learned that Follett is planning on entering the Public Library market.  Until now, they have been selling to schools but not public libraries.  I'm not sure when they plan on making the change.
Ingram, Brodart, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon are the best options until then.

There is also Emery-Pratt. It is a Michigan company. I used to order YA from them when I worked at a different library system. I was always happy with them. Maybe another to consider?

Any recommendations for book vendors besides Baker & Taylor? A little bit of uncertainty with their future & too many of our orders are back
ordered. 
 
Thanks
