McHENRY – Follett Corp. will open a new office in Dubai to further commit its support of schools in the United Arab Emirates, Middle East and North Africa. The company, headquartered in Westchester, Illinois, provides library and classroom materials to private international schools in nearly 150 countries, according to a news release. Follett School Solutions is based in McHenry, and the company also has locations in Westchester and Burlington, Ontario, according to its website. “As the leading provider of library and classroom materials to private international schools in these important regions, our new Dubai office will provide greater service and logistical assistance to our customer base,” Follett School Solutions Senior Vice President of Global Products and International Steve Siegel said in the release. “In addition, our expanded presence in the UAE also supports our engagement with regional bodies and government agencies as we grow and develop our business.” Follett provides international schools with books for pre-K through 12th-grade students; library and resource management solutions; and
e-books, audiobooks and interactive digital content and solutions that support Common Core and other international curricula. “We have been very happy with the service provided by Follett,” American School of Dubai elementary librarian Mary Kelly Bello said in the release. “... The new Dubai office is an exciting step forward for Follett, and we look forward to the continued relationship.” The company recently hosted a three-day professional development workshop in Beirut, Lebanon, where customers learned how to derive more value from Follett’s products and services, the release said. Follett is the largest provider of educational materials and technology solutions to libraries and school districts in the U.S., according to the release. The company works with 70,000 schools and operates more than 1,250 local campus stores and 1,600 virtual stores. Last year, Follett started distributing all International Baccalaureate publishing products, the release said. Content and other resources are available to buy on Follett’s online ordering tool, Titlewave.
