Introducing LibraryLink: Helping Libraries generate revenue from their deaccessioned materials.

What is Zoom Backroom

Independent bookstores can’t stock everything. Shelf space is finite, used stock is hard to source consistently, and sorting it is real work.

Backroom does that work. We source used books, grade them to a consistent standard, and offer them to independent bookstores — so you can put books on your shelves that would be hard to find any other way.

You choose the titles and the quantities. We do the digging.

How It Works Today

Curated Selections

Hand-picked assortments sized to your shelf — a literary fiction set in VG+, a children's table, a local-interest shelf. You tell us the lens; we pull the books.

Seasonal Displays

Summer reading, holiday tables, back-to-school. Planned ahead, built for the season, delivered ready to display.

Replenishment

Quick top-ups on proven sellers from stock on hand, so you're not tying up cash guessing.

Coming: Infinite Shelf

connect your point-of-sale and offer any used title you don't stock, shipped to your store or straight to your customer. Your endless aisle, our back room.

Where Do These Books Come From?

The books we from our own inventories as well as our vast network of partner inventories around the world.

Our job is to find the ones that still have readers waiting for them, grade them honestly, and get them back onto shelves. Backroom is the part of that work that puts those books in independent bookstores.

For Bookstores

We're your supply, not your storefront. You keep the customer, the relationship, and the sale.

No exclusivity, no lock-in, no minimum commitment

Consistent grading, so you know what's arriving

You set the titles and quantities
