- We are on the LGP marketplace.

If your organisation already has an account with us, we can confirm this for you.
Your organisation's account with us establishes your payment terms, discount, etc. This is distinct from the online 'registered account' (i.e. your login details) mentioned below which is only relevant if you are ordering via the website.
If you will be ordering via our website, your registered account for online ordering will be linked to your organisation's account to ensure your payment terms, discount and shipping are processed correctly for your orders coming via our website.
The credit application is available as a downloadable PDF (see link below). It has fields to enter your details and e-signature. Save and email the completed PDF to the email address shown above.
You can also download the PDF by right-clicking the image and choosing 'Save link as'.
Abbey's and Libro.fm want to thank teachers for the role they play in the community and we also want to let you know that Libro.fm audiobooks can be purchased (and still support Abbey's) as part of our love of books.
Educators can receive a curated selection of audiobooks each month - FREE to download!
