Hosting a shipment:

Each shipment is hosted by an institution or school in the network. The host institution receives additional books in return for their administrative help.

In order to become a host, the host institution must meet the the following requirements :

  • A clean, dry, secure space to receive and store the shipment before distribution to the network (may be for several weeks or months)
  • Available personnel, equipment and facilities to physically handle the shipment
  • Ability and willingness to communicate with other schools/institutions which may want to become a part of the network.
  • An individual who is available to take care of the administrative tasks of handling paperwork, working with a customs broker, contacting other institutions when books have been received, etc. and providing a follow up report after the shipment has been distributed.
  • Financial resources to cover any costs associated with inland freight, duties, etc.

If you want to receive more information about hosting, please indicate your interest below. We will contact you when a shipment to your area is being planned. Hosts are chosen by the Theological Book Network.
