Junior Library Guild

Junior Library Guild, a MSI Information Services company, was founded in 1929 as the Junior Literary Guild, a commercial book club devoted to juvenile literature. Today, JLG is the leading book review and collection development service that helps thousands of K12 school and public libraries acquire the best new children’s and young adult books. Our mission still follows editorial board member Eleanor Roosevelt’s mantra to put the right book in the hands of every reader–fostering the love of reading and learning as a path to lifelong success.

We are not a distributor. We are a unique book collection subscription service that provides the best books to libraries every month. Our members trust us to put only exceptional books into the hands of their eager young readers and know that season after season, year after year, our book selections go on to win awards, collect starred or favorable reviews, and earn industry honors.
