Greetings fellow Ask a Librarians,

Out of curiosity have any of you been getting ask a librarian emails such as the following:

June 30, 2016 Dear Library Director, Would you please consider adding the following three novels by August Sommers. Winter in America, Free Town, and The Rise of Caesar, as I do so enjoy his writing. Thank you for your time and cooperation. Ms. Janice Small

Questioner Information

Name: Janice Small
Email: jan41958@gmail.com

We have gotten this exact message from the same person twice. The books in question are self published through Amazon Createspace. I was wondering if other libraries have gotten the same or similar requests.

Feel free to reply to me off list.
