Library & Education Commitment - Belen Books, LLC.

 

“Libraries are the memory of civilization and the birthplace of exploration, where knowledge sparks discovery and imagination shapes the future.”

 

Our Respect for Libraries

Libraries are among the most important institutions in society. They protect knowledge, expand opportunity, preserve culture, and provide equitable access to learning for everyone — regardless of income or background.

 

At Belen Books Publishing LLC, we believe libraries are not simply customers. They are partners in education, research, and the advancement of human understanding. 

Our publishing mission aligns closely with theirs.

 

Our Philosophy

• Books should be accessible.

• Knowledge should not be restricted by price or gatekeeping.

• Institutions dedicated to public learning should be supported, not burdened.

• We believe publishers have a responsibility to serve libraries fairly and ethically.

 

Fair and Transparent Pricing

Belen Books is committed to honest, sustainable pricing for libraries.

While some industry practices apply excessive institutional markups, we take a different approach.

 

We aim to:

• Keep library pricing reasonable and predictable

• Avoid inflated institutional pricing structures

• Offer fair wholesale and distribution terms

• Ensure libraries can stretch budgets further and serve more readers

 

Our goal is simple:

• To help libraries acquire more books, not fewer.

• When libraries thrive, communities thrive.

 

Quality and Durability

We strive to provide titles that meet the needs of public, academic, and educational libraries worldwide.

 

This includes:

• Thoughtful editorial standards

• Reliable production quality

• Professional distribution through established partners

• Formats suitable for lending and long-term use

 

We understand that library collections are built to serve generations.

 

Global Access

Through our international distribution networks, including Ingram Content Group and other established partners, our titles are available to libraries around the world.

​

We are committed to making our catalog easy to discover, order, and integrate into institutional collections.

 

Partnership Mindset

 

We value collaboration with:

• Public libraries

• Academic institutions

• School systems

• Researchers and educators

• Literacy and community programs

 

We welcome dialogue and feedback from library professionals and continuously look for ways to better serve their needs.

 

Our Commitment

1. At its core, publishing exists to share knowledge.

2. Libraries exist to protect and distribute knowledge.

3. Our missions are naturally aligned.

 

Belen Books Publishing LLC is proud to support libraries and will continue working to ensure our practices reflect fairness, accessibility, and respect.
