Follett has been a trusted partner to Pre-K and K-12 schools, districts, and college campuses for more than 140 years, taking care of the critical details that make it easier for schools to run, teachers to teach and students to learn.
Every day, they serve over half of the students in the United States, and work with 80,000 schools as a leading
provider of education technology, services and print and digital content. They're higher education's largest campus retailer and a hub for school spirit and community as they operate nearly 1,200 local campus stores and over 1,600 virtual stores across the continent.
Their vantage point and presence in the market – from early childhood all the way through higher education – gives them a unique perspective to know what teachers are teaching and how students are learning; to know what professors are adopting; to know what college students are buying, and to know how they are acquiring content and interacting with new technologies and retail environments available to them.
They're more than just a book company, they're a gateway to knowledge—harnessing their insights to help improve student outcomes and shape the future of education as they know it.
