Local Authors & The Library

Collections

The library is developing a circulating collection of works by authors residing in the CRRL service area and adjacent counties. Library visitors will find works by local authors through the library catalog and on special READ LOCAL displays at all branches.

Authors, if you would like us to consider adding your work, just leave a donated copy at the Research desk at any branch with this form attached. Print out the form (PDF) to accompany your book.

Please understand that we are unable to return copies not selected.

Events

We know you would like to make the public aware of your work. Authors are invited to book space in all CRRL branches for informal Local Author @ the Library book signings and book sales at tables in the lobby. Schedule your visit at least 2 months ahead, please, so that we can include your appearance in the promotional listings of branch events. To schedule a signing contact the Head of Adult Research at your branch.
