L is for Libraries

Hallo fine peoples!!!



So in line with the theme of the month, we are talking about libraries as a mechanism for promoting our books. They are awesome in all sorts of other ways, but what I want YOU to teach ME is how to utilize libraries to increase book sales.





Now I worked up my nerve once to request the library carry a book I wrote, and they did. It was very nice of them. I felt a little like a beggar doing it, but I know it was a good thing to do. I think LOCAL libraries are often willing, especially if you tell them, “I'd like to be able to tell people who are interested that they can find it at the library”.





But in what OTHER ways can libraries be used to promote?



Have any of you engaged in creative ways with your local libraries?



Has anyone worked up a good system for reaching out to NON-local libraries?



How do you find library events you might get involved with?



Have you ever held your own event at a library? How did you set that up?





Okay.... now go visit some other A to Z bloggers!
