Bags for books – a great combination. Every issue desk in 
every library gets asked for them, and many still supply free plastic bags. Can this be right?
Plastic doesn’t work
Damage to the environment aside, plastic bags are an unnecessary financial burden on this cash-strapped sector. And from a conservation point of view, they fail to protect your valuable stock in transit. That’s why wise librarians offer a sturdy reusable bag for resale.
Carry that weight
Books and files can be bulky and heavy. Our jute and canvas bags are load-tested to 20kg so will easily take the heaviest load, and the jute bags have a waterproof lining that helps to keep books dry when it rains. The result: an ideal way for students and readers to carry books and files.
Raise revenue
With an RRP of £2-£3, every time you sell a library bag you will make money for the library service. Some libraries defray the cost with sponsorship or by allocating funds from their marketing budget. Many library services have developed bag sales into a substantial revenue stream.
Marketing value
Why should Tesco get all the publicity? As borrowers carry their books around town and campus, they become walking billboards for your library. As well as the obvious “Love Your Library” message, we have printed fun designs and important information on some very funky bags.
