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. An award-winning author of young adult fiction, Cathy Cassidy recalls how she embraced libraries as a 7-year-old — "I loved the freedom of choice that the library offered, its shelves filled with new worlds of opportunity. One book at a time, I pushed past the confines of my childhood. I pictured it as a kind of ladder made from books, leading me to a future where anything was possible." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska is delighted to support them in that role.

"LibraryBub targeted libraries for one of my bestsellers," says LibraryBub author Gregg Michaelsen. He fully appreciates the benefits of the connection between self-publishing authors and librarians, revealing how he "could not imagine trying to research and contact all the libraries in the U.S. and request that [his] book be included on their shelves." For him, "it's a time saver and… a money maker too!"
