Then people all over the country could fill out the form and take it into their local libraries. You could even do something like Jeff Markowitz is doing -- trying to get his book in at least one library in every state.

We have a library system with four very small libraries including the one on the reservation. They stock all three of my books as a local author. Any member can order these books and they are sent to their local branch for them to check out. I have no idea if any have ever been checked out, except I once went to the web site and tried to check one out and it wasn't available. The library has a policy, no sales of any sort on premises. Also all books are bought by a committee who are four very straight laced women, appointed by County Commissioners, creating much controversy. I think my comment was, "I'm not sure if they do any good as far as book sales go. Do people just check them out instead of buying?"
