<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If your SLAA has a physical collection that is available to the public, would you be able to share your collection development policy? We have fairly comprehensive Nevada Collection, but it’s mostly non-fiction, and mostly print. Trying
to determine how/if fiction and self-published authors fit in and how the collection might align with the Indie Author project, which we are not doing, yet. But might.
