Oh Karen…I am thrilled to have you use my Library Project idea. It’s great because not only are you getting the word out about your book…you are getting reviews by bloggers…and libraries are receiving it so that instead of one person buying your book…hundreds will have the opportunity to read it…and perhaps love it enough to buy a copy…a win/win/win situation. 🙂 I’ll email you…would LOVE a copy of your book…and will be happy to review it on my blog: http://www.viviankirkfield.wordpress.com

Hi Vivian,
I just love your idea about library and preschool donations. It’s generous and sounds like fun!
I agree a press release should be part of it and will include it when I shamelessly copy your great idea! I’ve already printed your post!
May I send you a copy of my children’s picture book, Oliver the Overachiever, as an exchange for your great idea? Contact me at kdemesa1@me.com if you’d like one.
Karin

Vivian, I love your library donation project! I think it was actually quite successful. Now that you’ve gone through the process once, your second venture will be even stronger! Your book continues to get attention and sell well for two reasons. First, it’s an excellent book. Second, you are committed to supporting it. You’re a wonderful role model for all of us. : )

Sandy

The “read-citals” is a fantastic idea…here is a group of writers who are having fun while getting the word out.
Last month, I did the Show-Me-How Library Project where I invited bloggers to leave a comment on my post, nominating their favorite library to win a copy of my book. I sent out over twenty copies…and many of the bloggers who will present the copy to their library are also doing a review of Show Me How on their blog. I’m hoping to do a similar event in August and September, donating copies of the book to preschools across the country. The library project didn’t get the immediate “buzz” I had hoped for…however, next time I will try to notify local media about it. I know, I know…I should have sent out a press release. 🙂

Thanks for sharing it, Karin. I hope it helps others.

I thinks it’s so clever! I love the “fledgling writers” explanation for the feathers, too!

Thank you for the idea, Billie. And thanks for posting it, Sandra!

A Read-cital. Sounds like you have a lot of fun and provide fun for the groups you read for. Love the boa feathers. Very clever.
