      A free color poster will be shipped with every book set ordered by the February 15 deadline. You can use these posters to help motivate students to read the books and participate in the voting process. (Additional posters are available through the IASL website.)

      Catalog cards and automated cataloging kits are also listed on the order form.

      Please honor the integrity of this bidding process by purchasing from the awarded IASL vendor. If schools place orders with another vendor, future bids will be less competitive and vendors may drop out of the process. Remember that the other vendors are offering you aggressive pricing to compete with the awarded vendor. The awarded vendor is also providing posters with each order as well as extras for the IASL Award Book committees. Other vendors do not share this poster cost burden. If the IEC pricing goes away, prices will go up in the future and posters will no longer be furnished.
