Did you know that if just one person goes into a library and asks for your eBook and if it is listed in the librarians' catalogs, then the library will buy a copy of your eBook in order to lend out. And did you know that it only takes just one library purchase for your eBook to be given a Machine Readable Catalog record (MARC), which then makes your eBook even more noticeable and accessible to all other libraries. In the US, there are over 100,000 libraries ? 16,421 public libraries and 93,861 school libraries that could buy in your eBook. And you don't have to be based in the US to have your eBook included in the US library system.
