I was told more than once that they had waiting lists for the books, and the library had to order more books to keep up with the demand. Just like the local bookstores, once several folks ask for your books they eventually get on the bandwagon! You can do it! You've got great books!<br />Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-46835760766747452952013-10-27T21:33:07.793-04:002013-10-27T21:33:07.793-04:00Our library is very reluctant.

That's a real drag.<br /><br />I'm not sure what the policy is in Britain in regards to indie writers having their publications in libraries. Should check that out.<br /><br />I suppose ending up in their used book store is something. Although just what strict standards, I wonder.<br /><br />And the fun continues with your blog tour.<br /><br />Gary klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-9117946724278197172013-10-27T13:24:25.371-04:002013-10-27T13:24:25.371-04:00Aw, that's a shame how the library won't a...Aw, that's a shame how the library won't accept your book!

I then sent an email asking about their policy regarding indie published books and that's where I got the news. I don't know why they wouldn't take it, but our library is in the country's top 5. Perhaps they have to maintain a stricter standard?Christine Rainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263694662585963900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-8682389812161644922013-10-27T08:48:11.786-04:002013-10-27T08:48:11.786-04:00What about donating it to the library?

My sister-in-law lives in Pennsylvania and is an indie author, and she's talked about how she's getting her book in her local library. I'll ask her about it the next time I see her. <br /><br />I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272293468239097754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-68882508537447093582013-10-27T03:01:37.653-04:002013-10-27T03:01:37.653-04:00Popping over to read the post... sounds very inter...Popping over to read the post... sounds very interesting.
