Some (smaller?) publishers might welcome this sort of attention being placed on their books and might permit the use with proper credit (and likewise, many authors/illustrators would enjoy the attention placed upon their books). <div><br></div><div>It would obviously be a hassle for the library to secure these permissions from each publisher, but if there were certain works from SCBWI-Oregon member authors and/or illustrators that were of interest for this project, I would be happy to reach out to those authors (to see if in turn they would reach out to their publishers) to secure the necessary rights. If, for example, I approached my publisher, ABDO Publishing Group, about this project, it would be my hope that they would grant permission for more than just my titles in your collection. </div><div><br></div><div>Please let me know if I can be a resource.
