I've just had a book published and would like to give your members a chance to read it

Thanks for asking about getting your book into stock in Lancashire's libraries. Unfortunately, we don't buy individual books, all our books come from contracted suppliers, who offer us a selection based upon the sort of books we are looking for. So the best way to make your books available to us is to make contact with a large wholesaler, they in turn offer the books to our suppliers.
