We have a list of award-winning juvenile titles on standing order with our
jobber.  You simply supply the awards you want to collect and they add
them.  Of course, you're purchasing them under that structure, so if you
want to rent only, that's another matter.  We've found it cheaper to buy
these titles and keep them longer term.
