[Libs-Or] Local/Regional Collections in Public Libraries

[John Repplinger]

I'm going to tag onto Taylor's question about featuring local authors. I
have a simple request.

*As you come across new books written by Oregon authors, can you let
the Oregon Authors Committee know about them?*

To help:
1.  Bookmark our form (
https://www.olaoregonauthors.org/submit-an-author.html)
2.  Include the book title, author's name, and ISBN. Their Oregon
connection would be great to include too.

This is the minimum needed to track down more info about an author. We're
hoping that you will help us keep an eye out for new books and help us
collectively serve our communities.
