Getting a book in the library

[Uzoma]

If you are an author, how do you get your books into a library, either UK, US, or Australia/New Zealand?

Thanks in advance.

First of all you have to get published, then your books are reviewed. The librarians should be keeping a wide stock of books to cover most needs, and I understand that they look at book reviews etc and see what would be likely to appeal to their local population. I imagine that each publisher sends lists of new publications to the library services on a regular basis.

If you are published you can always donate copies. We quite often receive copies of books in the post from new authors who would like us to have a copy of their book - it can sometimes gain them fans and increase sales.
