Book Ordering Information
As a Motheread® Arizona site, you will set up your own accounts and order your own books. This chart from the National Office shows the different formats in which the books from the adult curriculum are available.
None of these companies carry all the titles in the adult curriculum, so you may have to order from more than one company, depending on which adult titles you chose. You don’t have to order from these companies if you can get a better price elsewhere, but they will honor their discounts to non-profit organizations.
Motheread® Arizona may be able to supply new sites with some book funding. When this is the case, only order titles for which there are adult lesson plans for use in adult sessions. These plans comprise the Teacher’s Guide section of the Motheread® curriculum.
If Motheread® Arizona is supplying your new site with books, either pay for the books and turn in the invoices for reimbursement, or pass the unpaid invoice on to Motheread® Arizona after you’ve received the book order and reconciled it with the invoice.
If a book company needs proof that Motheread® Arizona will be paying for ordered titles up to a certain dollar amount, please call Ann-Mary Johnson at 602/257-0335 x26 or e-mail amjohnson@azhumanities.org to get whatever documentation the company requires.
