How do I get my book into the Library?
Answer
eBooks
Submit self-published ebooks to the Indie Author Project (IAP), a publishing community that includes public libraries, authors, curators, and readers working together to connect library patrons with great indie-published books. Through this project, authors can submit ebooks directly to their local public library to then be vetted by industry editorial partners and librarian editorial boards. Submissions are open year-round.
Published book donations can be mailed to:
Acquisitions – Donations
New Orleans Public Library
219 Loyola Ave
New Orleans, LA 70112
Donations are evaluated according to NOPL’s selection criteria to determine inclusion to the collection. Any works not added to the collection become the property of the Library and may be sold at the Friends of the New Orleans Public Library book sale to benefit library programs.
To recommend your title as a purchase for the library system, please our Recommend a Title form.
More information about selection criteria may be found in our Collection Development Policy.
