Molly O'Neill, Assistant Editor at Katherine Tegen Books/HarperCollins said that a library's circulation records on a book or an an author can affect the buying power of whether or not that library will buy more books from that author.
When I asked my local library about that, they said they do look at circulation records, but it doesn't necessarily affect if they'll buy another book by a certain author. I guess it just depends on the library. It IS a very small library, though. Even still, I will always LOVE libraries, and bookstores.
I was really excited when I learned that tidbit because I wondered how a library could help an author's career, to a point. Now I know they can help EVEN MORE!!!
Today's Mission: visit your library some time in the next week, and tell them "thank you" for all they do!
