Peace Library System member public libraries aim to maintain a well-balanced collection of materials. This may include work from local authors who produce self-published work.
Information for Local Authors
If you are a local author looking to get your self-published work in a library, please contact the library directly. Peace Library System headquarters does not select physical collection items on behalf of member public libraries.

We recommend member public libraries include a information on local / self-published materials in their material selection policy. For more information, please contact the Consulting Department.
