Penguin Random House Sets Interim Discounted Digital-Book Library Program For Online Patrons, Educators, And Students

By Luis Diaz | March 19 2020 | General

To further encourage book reading, especially among students, and to support school and public libraries that are closed with the escalating CV-19 outbreak, Penguin Random House will discount the prices of the e-book and audio book titles sold through wholesalers to these institutions.

This discounting begins immediately and will be in effect for a 90-day period.

ā€œIn this time of unprecedented disruption, Penguin Random House wants to continue and to expand our unwavering commitment to public and school libraries the best way we know how: by making our books more accessible for educators and students, especially those engaged in remote learning, and to library patrons everywhere,ā€ said Skip Dye, Senior Vice President, Library Sales & Digital Strategy, Penguin Random House.

Penguin Random House sells its books to libraries through wholesalers, who have been provided with a 90-day temporary-pricing model for its accounts.

All Penguin Random House and DK adult and children’s fiction and nonfiction e-book and digital audio titles are eligible for this program.
