The transition from our previous vendor to Lilydale was smooth and seamless, with the Lilydale team here to help us every step of the way. Lilydale Books are a small family-operated company, and by the nature of this are extremely responsive and professional. They care about every customer and every interaction. |

From beginning to end, we get the support we need, from trialling new texts and resources to add to the booklist, seamless administration of number of complex subscription arrangements, and of course, great support for our learning leaders. Parents and students also get all the help they need when purchasing either online or in person. Being local and not too big is one reason we love Lilydale Books – our parents and we get great personal service. In January, our eBooks are all set and ready to go (we love the SSO feature) and last year the team worked over the summer to fill in some of our database gaps to ensure all students were set to go come Day 1 on Term 1. Thanks Melissa, Kelly and of course Ayesha! |

We were very happy with Lilydale Books for our book lists this year. After finding out our usual book list supplier wasn't doing booklists last year at the last minute you guys jumped in and made my life a whole lot easier. I would recommend you to any school as it was a seamless operation with not one hiccup. |
