Library bags

Canby bags are ideal book bags – they’re strong (capable of carrying 20kgs) and they keep library stock much safer than a plastic bag. We’ve worked with many university libraries to supply reusable jute and cotton bags that have prevented thousands of plastic book bags from entering the waste stream. They help publicise library services on campus, and are brilliant fundraiser, selling well at the issue desk. See libraries for more information and ideas.

Customer testimonials

The children were thrilled when the bags arrived. Today was the first day I saw them myself! They are fabulous. Feedback from pupils and parents has been fantastic with many claiming how well made they are. The children are enjoying selling them on a daily basis at school and I do believe many parents are buying for the extended family. I am sure that if we are to order the same or new design we would come back to yourselves as your help and advice was greatly appreciated.
