Book Marketing Maven - How to Sell Your Book to Libraries

America's 123,000 libraries purchase nearly $2 billion worth of books annually, according to statistics from the American Library Association and the Book Industry Study Group. Here are some ways to capture your share of this lucrative market:

  • Get your book reviewed in a library journal.
  • Solicit testimonials from librarians.
  • Make sure your book is available through major library wholesalers.
  • Apply to work with a library distributor such as Quality Books or Unique Books, if you have a nonfiction book.
  • Contact libraries in your area to inquire about speaking opportunities and programs for local authors, and contact libraries in towns you visit.
  • Send direct mail to libraries, either on your own or through co-operative mailings. Address mail to the Collection Development Librarian for your subject area, and include a flyer with book details and a list of wholesalers and distributors that carry your book.
