LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As Daisy Alpert fLorin explains, "novelists love to tell the story of outsiders, and in a sense, everyone's an outsider in college. No matter where you come from or what privileges you bring with you, you are coming from somewhere else and must learn how to become part of a community with new rules and mores. Even those who are part of the prevailing culture are forced to navigate relationships with people who aren't." In Zara D. Macias's short novel The Inevitable Loss of Innocence, the protagonist is doubly an outsider at an elite metropolitan university, being from small-town Kentucky and a Latina.

LibraryBub, an industry first, was established in 2015. Dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Irish novelist Martina Devlin recalls her first visit to a library. "I never dreamed such a place existed! It was the town library. My father led me to the children's section and as he told my mother later, let me at it. He took himself off to another part of the room, lined with those peculiar books grown-ups seemed to like, although they had no pictures.

Meanwhile, I feasted on stories about talking rabbits and lost puppies. But in jig-speed, it was time to go home. With a heavy heart, I closed over the book I was reading, wondering when I'd be allowed into this Emerald City again." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.

Children's author Alan Hesse was very pleased to see the "traction and interest" in his book that LibraryBub generated. He was impressed by the efforts to put his book (The Adventures of Polo the Bear) in front of librarians. Participating in the Author Remake program, he explains,"Not only am I getting great live education and advice from Alinka... but also this unexpected exposure to libraries, which somehow passed beneath my radar of expectations."
