Next to bookstores, I love libraries. They are a great national treasure. Regardless of what kind of book you’re looking for, you will probably find it at your local library.
And in today’s world, it’s easier than ever because most public libraries list their catalogs online for print books and ebooks. As an added bonus, libraries are the one place you can borrow and read all my books for free. All you have to do is request the books if they haven’t purchased them yet.
I still cherish childhood memories of my time at the children’s section of our hometown library. Of course, as a child, my interest was primarily in the games and storytelling sessions for children. But that library also helped propel me to a lifelong love of reading. I borrowed the first young adult books I ever read from that library.
While in college attending Boston University, many of my friends declared that the school should name a wing of the school’s Mugar Library after me because I spent so much time studying there. Not sure if that was a reflection of my bookish nature or a tendency of my closest companions to goof off more than me.
Most libraries now belong to a network of other libraries and online book resources, making it easy to borrow books. You only have to log in and click.
So please consider asking your local library to carry my novels. It’s easy and doesn’t cost you anything, but it is a great way to support my writing efforts.
All the best,
John

Loved Crawford Library ……….
Thanks for the post.

The Crawford Library was great, but I actually spent most of my time at the Webster Library. My Dad’s store was in Webster and that library was an easy walk along Mainstreet.
