The Bone Key<\/strong> is now in my local library!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to know how cool Canada is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time an author’s book is found in one of the selected library systems<\/a>, the author gets paid, as long as they have signed up to the Public Lending Right <\/a>program through the Canada Council for the Arts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have a towering TBR pile. Every year, thousands of books are released. We can’t buy them all and give them a Forever Home, no matter how much we want to! So…libraries are the next best thing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only does it help you support your local community AND authors themselves, it gives you the prefect excuse to read well past your bedtime…especially when the book’s due date is coming up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suggesting a Book at the Toronto Public Library<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure if every library system is the same, but since I’m in Toronto, I’ll share what I know about our local system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Toronto Public Library allows readers to suggest ONE title per month<\/a>. Think of all the cool books you can suggest! All you have to do is login with your library card number & PIN<\/a> and enter the info for the book you want to suggest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Request The Bone Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My book<\/a> The Bone Key is already in the Toronto Public Library<\/a> system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I’d love to see it in more libraries, so below, you’ll find all the info about my book so you can suggest it in your local library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
