My co-worker at the library and I were talking about one of the patrons that frequents the establishment.
"He's a writer, you know?" I, in fact, did not know. "Yeah, he's self-published. He's even got a few books on the shelf."
"Books that you can check out?" I asked.
"Yeah. He sometimes asks me if I've checked them out and read them--what he writes isn't really my style."
I wasn't so much concerned with that author's writing style as I was excited.
"Can anyone's books be put into the library system?"
"Sure," he said. "You can submit a request for the library to stock a book--it's no big deal. They may not do it, but that's probably how he got his books on the shelf."
Phineas, I know what we're going to do today!
Okay, maybe not today, but soon. I'll let you know how it all turns out.
I asked my librarian friend about getting my book into the library. There is a bit of red tape. Here is a web page she sent me to help with the process.
