Services
Our Library Service
Stout Books can help you to bring the depth of a library to your space with ease. We've worked with offices, schools, and interior designers to build a variety of design-focused libraries from scratch.
This service draws on our extensive, gold-standard collection of architecture and design publications, and on a team with backgrounds in architecture, art and design history, and library science.
From curation to installation, our library service adapts to your project's needs and constraints.
Engagement can take whatever form suits you: from client-driven, private sessions held in person, to detailed briefs with iterative collaboration, to fully hands-off curation by our team.
What is included:
- Thematic development from your brief
- Research-driven curation
- Acquisition
- Revisions/Client collaboration, if desired
- Installation coordination with your team - or - Installation and delivery by our team
This service carries a service fee, plus the cost of books.

Events
From parties, to lectures, to trivia nights, you may have experienced some of the events at Stout Books. If you'd like to host one together, here are the two ways we work:
-
Collaborative event:
An official Stout Books event aligned with both parties' mission and perspective. -
Tabling service:
Do you need to offer design book sales at your event? We table on-site with our own staff, handle all ordering, and manage any returns. This service carries a $500 fee to cover associated costs.
We need about six weeks' notice to table, and we finalize our events schedule for each quarter at the start of the preceding quarter.
