Dear Teachers and Librarians,

We are pleased to announce the launch of our 2011-12 catalogue of brand new art books!

You may now browse the selection of titles from new and returning publishers on our website, www.ducprogram.org, where you may also place your order. As always, all books are shipped completely free of charge!

PLEASE NOTE:

In the final stage of the ordering process, after you have logged into your profile page, you will be taken to a screen listing your book requests. This page also contains a tab that reads 'EMAIL ORDER/RESERVE BOOKS' in the top right and the bottom right corners. You MUST click on this tab in order to submit your book requests (only then are the books deducted from our inventory and held for you). Once your order has been submitted, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email, or if you experience any other problems, please contact us. 

There are no restrictions on the number of titles you may request. However, we must make certain we serve as many communities as possible with our limited resources. We kindly ask that you order only what you need.

Each institution is allowed to place one order per calendar year (today marks the first day of the DUC's new year). Please consult with your colleagues and place one order on behalf of your institution; multiple orders from the same school or library will not be filled. 

Due to the large volume of orders we receive, it may take up to three months to process and ship the books you request-your patience is appreciated. 

One final reminder: the mission of the DUC is to distribute free art books to rural, inner-city, and other underserved public schools and libraries. Therefore, we are unable to fill orders from private institutions. 

If you have questions about the program or the ordering process, feel free to contact us at info@ducprogram.org or (212) 255-2919.
