Library Company Baker & Taylor Expands in Commerce, Creating Over 100 New Jobs

Baker & Taylor’s Commerce facility is expanding and with that expansion is creating over a hundred new jobs.

On Tuesday, Governor Brian P. Kemp announced that Baker & Taylor, a leading provider of books and services to public libraries nationwide, will expand operations in Commerce.

Baker & Taylor is hiring to fill 115 jobs, including additional shifts, at its 276,000 square foot service center located on Mt. Olive Church Road in Commerce.

Company officials say the expansion is a result of growth in Baker & Taylor’s public library market.

The Charlotte, North Carolina-based company has serviced public library customers with books, materials, and value-added services from its Commerce facility since 1972.

“Baker & Taylor has been a proud member of the Commerce, Georgia business community for almost fifty years. We are thrilled to continue to grow our family of team members in the area. The exceptional service our Commerce-based team provides is well-regarded throughout the public library industry and is instrumental as we grow our business,” noted Aman Kochar, Executive Vice President of Public Library Sales and Technology at Baker & Taylor.

Baker & Taylor supports 6,000 public library systems, representing 90 percent of all U.S. public libraries.
The company has capacity to ship over 46 million units annually out of its Commerce center, which also houses Baker & Taylor’s library customer support call center, inside sales, and technical service teams.
