Tiny Favour to Ask

[Deleted member 133]

In the next little while my book will be promoted in a catalogue that gets sent by the printer / distributor to pretty much every library in the US. I'm a huge believer in / supporter of public libraries as fundamental elements of any civilization. I'd like my book to be as widely read as possible and libraries are a great way of making it happen.

Anyhow, here's a tiny favour to ask.

Almost every library offers its members the online means to suggest titles to purchase. My experience with my own local library system is that they take such suggestions seriously and follow through with real purchases in about 80% of the cases.

If any of you are members of your local library (which usually means you have a library card) I'd ask you to please submit my book as a suggested title for purchase.

The usual required information is as follows:

Book Title: Most of These Stories Are Somewhat True
Author: Jeff Mackwood
Year of Publication: 2016
ISBN: 978-0994931009

Much thanks.

Jeff

I'll do you the favor, but not sure if we Americunz are allowed to do "favours".

I called my library to request they stock the book, and they said they would be more than happy to do it, but they could only buy 80% of the book due to the exchange rate. :flags-canada:

Does that apply to Canadian libraries as well?
