All public school libraries are considered "underserved". I checked into this last year and we were approved to place an order. We received beautiful art books! Institutions can place an order once a year, and we just placed our order for this year. Just be aware that the books do not arrive until late spring.

Hello all,

Please see this email for a source of free art books for self-identified underserved school libraries. I haven't looked through the site but the email did come to me through an ALA listserve.

Subject: [INFOLIT] Free Art Books for public schools and libraries! Place your order now with the Distribution to Underserved Communities Library Program (D.U.C.)
Reply-To: infolit@lists.ala.org

Dear teachers and librarians,

As the semester comes to an end, we hope you won't forget to place your annual
order of free books with Art Resources Transfer's Distribution to Underserved
Communities Library Program (D.U.C.): http://www.artresourcestransfer.org/duc

The D.U.C. provides public schools and libraries with free books on
contemporary art and culture. All public institutions who self-define as
underserved are encouraged to create and account and place an order through
our website.

This year, A.R.T. is thrilled to feature over 295 new titles, as well as new
educational and editorial content on our redesigned website. We hope you will
also take a look at our journal to learn more about our activities and the
books we distribute: http://www.artresourcestransfer.org/#blog

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions as to how we can better
serve you and your students and readers, we hope you will be in touch! Please
write us with any thoughts at: duc@artresourcestransfer.org.

With best holiday wishes,

Art Resources Transfer
