The King David School
Michelle Lazarow, Director of Digital Engagement

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.

 

 

Oxley Christian College
Michael Mancev, Head of Curriculum & Professional Development

 

Working with the team at Lilydale Books has been a wonderful experience. 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!

Joanne Devenish, Booklist Coordinator
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.

I have worked closely with Ayesha and Lilydale Books for several years. Lilydale High has been in partnership with them for over twenty years and have found them to be professional and reliable. Our requests for resources are always managed promptly, regardless of the difficulty of the order.



Minaret College
Nazmine Taksim, Administrative Manager
Minaret College teamed up with Lilydale Books to improve our customer service to our community, provide a cost-effective solution to our parents and students and a tailored service to meet the unique needs of the community that Minaret College serves. Ayesha and her team at Lilydale Books are a delight to deal with and we highly recommend them for any school looking for a mutually beneficial partnership.

Very friendly and competent staff, with all the local school booklists on hand - and none of the big queues you get at some of the other school book shops.

Lilydale Books is a bookstore with excellent customer service. Staff behave professionally and always answer phone calls politely. The staff are very competent and are always willing to answer questions about books and are very knowledgeable. The prices for stationery are also very reasonable and actually cheaper than Officeworks.

This is the best service in Melbourne! The young lady on the phone was professional, friendly and answered all my questions. She was willing to go out of her way to look for second hand books and put them on a reservation. When I came into the store the ladies were efficient and helpful. Despite it being busy it is worth the wait in the line. Thank you for your services! I'll be back next year.
