What we do
We have intentionally built our business to be the complete solution for your print, media and entertainment needs.
We provide additional benefits and services to improve deliverables and create cost saving efficiencies to support Library Services in balancing their needs to reduce costs while ensuring the quality of services delivered to their communities continue at a high standard.
Working exclusively with public libraries ensures our whole business model has been established to fulfil your individual requirements
MDM Entertainment is Australia's largest specialist supplier of audio visual materials to public libraries. Through our knowledge of these collection areas, and with the breadth of content we have access to, libraries who engage with us for the supply of their DVD, Blu-Ray, Audiobook and Console Game collections achieve better outcomes with circulation of materials ensuring a greater return on investment.
Having the MDM Entertainment and MDM Print operations under the same roof will provide your library service with the option to receive single source supply benefits while continuing to work with two expert specialist suppliers. This will ensure your collections will maintain a breadth of content that is diverse and comprehensive and includes balanced content for all your library patrons.
