Textbook Central Information

Textbook Central is a sole source provider of Purchase Order/Book Inventory/Student Management systems, which has delivered cost effective management to the non-public textbook loan programs of participating Nassau County school districts since 2000.

Our exclusive ability to access and manipulate these orders at our discretion, gives us complete flexibility in efficiently fulfilling orders. Timing of these deliveries is tailored to the specific needs of the districts or private ...
