When I was a child, my love of reading was encouraged by my local library (I’m pretty sure I read every book in the children’s section—some more than once). As an author, I want my books to be in the most places possible, including in libraries.

And that’s why I need your help! Personal requests from card-carrying library patrons have an impact on library purchases. If your library uses OverDrive for patrons to borrow digital books, it’s easy to recommend a book for purchase.

Make a library request on your phone 📱

Step 1: Open the OverDrive app.

Step 2: Search for “Lacy Williams” or use the book title.

Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the search results and look for “Didn’t find what you were looking for?” Click SEE ALL.

Step 4: Find the book or books you want to recommend and click RECOMMEND.

That’s it!

Make a library request from your computer 🖥️

Much the same as on a phone!

Step 1: Go to your library’s OverDrive website (probably YOURLIBRARYNAME.overdrive.com)

Step 2: Search for the book you want to recommend. You may have to scroll to the bottom of the screen and look under the heading “Didn’t Find What You Were Looking For?”. 

Step 3: Click RECOMMEND.
