Powell's Books
Corporate & Academic Services

Welcome to Portland!

Corporate & Academic Services at Powell's City of Books is pleased and honored to have been selected as the conference bookstore for the 2008 OASL/WLMA Joint Conference in Portland. As the largest independent used and new bookstore in the world we see the challenges your schools and libraries face and the possibilities you work so hard to realize every day.

Conference Services and Discounts

In addition to Powell's remarkable selection of used, out of print and sale priced books, we are happy to offer a 20% discount to conference associates and participants on most new books purchased at the City of Books from Wednesday, October 8th through Monday, October 13th. We will also offer a 20% discount on most new books preordered for your school or library.

We will transfer books from any of our six Portland stores, five Oregon warehouses or numerous remote warehouses for pickup during the conference at Powell's City of Books or to be shipped directly to your school or library.

This discount does not apply to books purchased at the conference bookstore at the Oregon Convention Center, but we will be offering a special conference discount on many of those titles. In addition, we will be stocking Powell's New Favorites for the fall discounted at 30%!

Placing an Order

Since your order must be processed via Corporate & Academic Services to receive the preorder discount, you may browse www.powells.com for prices and availability, but you must contact one of our representatives at the City of Books to expedite your order.
