LOS ANGELES, July 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

LibraryBub is a service that helps thousands of librarians to discover bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub works with all major libraries and is the industry's first service connecting indie and small-press authors with libraries. It was founded in 2015 by international bestselling author Alinka Rutkowska. As a successful indie author, she helps thousands of other authors achieve self-publishing success through her books, newsletters, courses and coaching. The core commitment of LibraryBub is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector.

The July list of remarkable books by self-publishing authors appears below. The featured publications have been well received both by readers and critics while some have quickly become Amazon best sellers in their categories. Many of these books have won awards within the independent publishing sector. Moreover, these books are already shaping the lives of their readers. Eudora Welty, long before she won the Pulitzer Prize for her writing, was an avid reader of library books. She remembered how as a child her consumption of library books was a matter of urgency: "I read library books as fast as I could go, rushing them home in the basket of my bicycle. From the minute I reached our house, I started to read. Every book I seized on… stood for the devouring wish to read being instantly granted. I knew this was bliss." Librarians can make that kind of difference to people's lives and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska is delighted to support them in that role. "It's very exciting to think of the cycle that is at work in libraries - the role of librarians in promoting books by present-day authors is instrumental in enthusiastic young readers growing up to be the next generation of authors. The future is in safe hands," she says.

"After LibraryBub's mailing, over a thousand librarians clicked through to my book. I'm a British fantasy author and so have no way to connect to American libraries," says LibraryBub author Rosemary A. Johns. "Alinka's service was exactly what I needed. I spent my teenage years avidly borrowing books from libraries or curled up in the corner of one; being able to share my books in libraries (as well as bookstores and online) is something I'm passionate about. This service made that possible in a big way."

Librarians are invited to sign up for LibraryBub at http://librarybub.com/
