In a library, there are rules and competing interests that don&rsquo;t exist in a bookstore. Amy Collins, President of New Shelves Books, talks about the ins and outs of getting your books onto library shelves. She says that one of the advantages that excellent indie writers have in a library is that librarians love books and want to get quality content into the hands of their patrons. However, there are many more challenges in selling to a library than there are advantages. For example, libraries have firm, nonnegotiable budgets. Unlike a bookstore, a library can&rsquo;t turn a profit based on their content. They&rsquo;re a public service with a budget that&rsquo;s fixed. Collins explains how you can address librarians in a way that creates a win for both them and you. In order to sell to librarians, you need to know what their goals are and how you can help them. Otherwise, they&rsquo;re not going to be able to help you.
