We have so many hopefuls lately that give us such sincere efforts that are woefully short of something we can add to the collection. We are going to be talking about this tomorrow in our Admin Team meeting. I am thinking, what if we ask them to doante their self-published book. We put is uncataloged on a designated "local self-published" author shelf and people can browse it for a year. After that it goes into our Friends booksale. Maybe have a once-a-year fair for them to gather (bring their own table and chair and change) and sell and sign their books at a local author fair. It might help ease the sting and honor their efforts without the imprimatur of adding this stuff to our collection!Marge Loch-Woutershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09299355611398291374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232965658384447649.post-62443693474784470182010-08-16T14:03:38.518-07:002010-08-16T14:03:38.518-07:00Sad to hear how it is on your end for booking auth...Sad to hear how it is on your end for booking authors, but also helpful to know what the current reality is. Loved your Ramona blog. At least in the photo your hands were behind your back. As an older sister, I'm afraid I was up to no good too much of the time.<br />Barbara BottnerAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639648134873789035noreply@blogger.com
