Home > Librarians@Random > Backlist Gems




We are pleased to present you with some Backlist Gems—treasures published prior to this year that folks wanted to bring front and center again! What a terrific way to remind our librarian friends about these gems, we thought. And at the same time, we could help meet collection development needs, too.

So, this is the place to come and be reminded of the many great backlist gems that are available from Random House Children's Books. If you have a favorite that you'd like to remind people of just email us at schoolandlibrarymarketing@randomhouse.com and we'll do our best to get them posted.

This month, take a look at some of our favorite Graduation and Summer Reading Titles!
