Welcome to The Classroom Library Company! The Classroom Library Company is a culmination of many years of thinking about how to get children to read and feel successful. I have personally read and reviewed thousands of children's books from hundreds of publishers around the globe, and I’m very eager to share my findings with you!
Building a true love for reading is our ultimate goal. As educators, we understand that the needs of students vary. We know how important it is for students to pass tests. However, if children and young adults who love to read are given a comfortable and safe learning environment, the rest will follow. With this in mind, we've put together thousands of reading collections that will meet the needs of all of your students. These books were carefully selected by reading and literacy specialists based on quality, content, interest, and reading levels. You'll find many classics as well as new releases, organized by content, theme, genre, and Guided Reading Levels. And if you have a question or can't find what you're looking for, there's always a reading /literacy specialist here to help.
We'll help you design the perfect classroom library for your students. Your classroom is a home-away-from-home for you as well as your students. The classroom environment sets the tone for learning. We want to help educators create an organized, warm, reading-friendly atmosphere that will be engaging, and make all those books even more enticing. So we set out to assemble all of the tools to help you make it happen. And what we couldn't find, we designed on our own: from seating and rugs, to shelves and labeling; from a free classroom design program that helps you lay it all out, to a smartphone app that helps you keep track of all your books.
We are determined to be affordable and keep it simple. As educators, we understand the budget constraints teachers may face when purchasing new materials. With The Classroom Library Company, there is ALWAYS a 30% discount, and NEVER a minimum order. All Classroom Library orders are shipped with easy-to-read labels in storage and shelf-ready display boxes. We'll work with you to match quality books to readers, and help you create a positive learning environment at a price you can afford. We are dedicated to making the whole reading experience enjoyable, interesting, and easy! Our philosophy is clear: ALL children can read, and ALL children can have success in school – there are no exceptions. We're here to help you make this happen. Just ask Miss Merry: WE MAKE IT EASY! Happy teaching,
Marla Conn Reading/Literacy Specialist, Owner, Mom

Beanbag Chair It’s colorful,
comfy and everyone’s favorite place to plop with a good book.
An inviting place to sprawl with a favorite book or gather together to read aloud. Oval and rectangle rugs adorned with artsy alphabet books. Choose from two shapes and five sizes. Custom designed by Classroom Library Co. for function and long life. Heavy-duty corrugate reinforced with aluminum rods. Shorty is just the right height for little ones to easily access reading on their own. Holds nine of our signature small bins (included). The same durability and construction as Shorty... only bigger! Think kids are tough on stuff? We grown-ups abused it and misused it, and the original is still standing strong. Snugly fits 15 of our signature bins (included). Tall Boy also comes with wall anchors for a “tall” sense of security.
A poster-sized version of our color-coded equivalency chart, to help you translate unfamiliar reading level systems to what you know.
The very best option for going mobile. If you travel the classrooms as a Reading Specialist or share books with the classroom down the hall, we have a great solution for you. It’s a super sturdy square-tube, metal frame on 5-inch, heavy-duty, locking casters. It holds nine large colorful, divided book tubs and labels. It will save you a lot of time when it’s time to roll.
