Publishers, Bookstores, and Individuals in one place

Publishers, Bookstores, and individuals (a.k.a. “le poteau”) from every region in Cameroon can join the CTBN as suppliers, and make the textbooks they have available for every parent or guardian in the country.

Parents list, search, and collect the textbooks

The whole CTBN concept is very simple:

  1. group textbooks by child,
  2. launch a search for each group in your region,
  3. choose a supplier from the list, then go and collect.

You can make a reservation just to be sure

Having a list of suppliers with the textbooks you need doesn't mean you will get those textbooks when you get there. Just in case, if you would like, you can reserve the textbooks you want.
