Station libraries: We will work very hard with you to get your instructional / promotional books and DVDs for your station libraries within your budget.  Send us a list of what you need and what your budget is. We’ll do our best to meet your needs.  If you’re not sure what you need, give us a call or drop us an email and we can help you out with recommendations.

IFSTA Library: We get requests from some departments for a "complete set of IFSTA manuals".  What IFSTA calls their "complete set" or library changes frequently because of edition changes, titles discontinued, titles added.  Also, every fire department really doesn't need every book in a "complete set". To get what you really need, nothing more, and at a reduced price, email us a list (please use the IFSTA 35xxx or 36xxx number).  We will promptly reply with a quote. If you would still like the complete IFSTA library, give us a call for pricing.
