[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, in case there are folks who don't know, you can always request that your library purchase a particular book that they don't already have.  That's a great way to drive attention to an author (even a--gasp!--z-list author like someone mentioned above).

I did this recently with a fairly new cookbook author whose book was getting a bunch of attention in social media circles, but my major regional library system (Prince George's County) didn't have the book.  I requested it, they ordered it, it showed up about a month later, and then it was checked out twice in a row before I could get my hands on it![/quote]

If you live in PG County or Mont County, get a DC Library card (you can with an address in the burbs). DC sometimes gets new books a little quicker and they have different digital collections.

Authors are usually just happy to have people wanting the book at all. Posting and talking about it is a positive! I'm a library person through and through.[/quote]
