St. Peter the Apostle

As a Learning Resource Coordinator for an Alberta High School I can tell you that when the Alberta Government shut down the textbook warehouse where schools could one stop shop for all things schoolbook related, I found myself spending days shopping at over half a dozen different publisher’s websites in order to fulfill my school’s textbook needs. It would take days, sometimes weeks of ordering online, tracking down order sheets on websites, filling out paperwork, sending faxes, and calling toll free lines to order our books. Then, I found Western Campus and all my prayers were answered!

Western Campus carries over 95% of all the textbooks, novel studies, workbooks and teacher resources my school needs. What used to take days to order in now takes minutes. Couple clicks of the mouse and a confirmation email later and I’m done! If there is ever any issue, or they have a better deal for me, my rep Kelly contacts me directly. The staff is super friendly, very polite, helpful, quick and efficient. You couldn’t ask for better customer support from a company.  If you have a question, they usually have the answer and it typically comes to you on the same day you asked it, or the next business day if it’s a tough one. No more waiting 5 to 7 business days!

Western Campus has competitive prices that usually match, or are better than, the publisher. If your school is trying to stretch the budget while not compromising quality, Western Campus often offers gently used textbooks bought from other schools. Each one is checked over and repaired, if needed, before they offer it for sale at a reduced price. Need to get rid of a resource and don’t want to feel like you are throwing away money? Contact Western Campus and they might just pay you to take it off your hands!

I have been recommending this company to all the local school librarians for years. I cannot express how much time, effort and stress this wonderful company has saved me!
