Book Submission Guidelines
Authors may submit a Book Submission Form for Authors to have their published book considered for the library’s collection. The materials selection team reviews all submissions once every month. Please allow four to five weeks for an email response to your inquiry. The materials selection team may request a copy of the book to review. Please do not send the book without an official request.
Note that materials and requests sent to the library without the Book Submission Form for Authors will not be considered.
Material selection is subject to the following:
- Must meet the library’s existing collection development guidelines
- One submission per title; repeated submissions will not be considered
- Limit of two submissions per author per year
- All library materials are subject to periodic weeding.
- Cataloging is up to library discretion.
- Ordering availability – the library prefers to acquire material through established library vendors.
- Print materials only (no e-books)
- Donation policy – any donated items will become library property and will not be returned.
- Author’s original work (submissions must be free of copyright issues and may not include AI text or illustrations).
