Next Meeting: 7:00 PM, Wednesday, May 10, 2023 Partner With the Local Library to Promote Your Book Presented by Jennifer Alexander Wednesday, May 10, 2023: Join the St. Louis Publishers Association on May 10 and learn how to “Partner With the Local Library to Promote Your Book,” presented by Jennifer M. Alexander, a Collection Development Specialist for St. Louis County Library. How can you partner with the public library to promote your book? Public library patrons are a community of avid readers. The same people who choose what books land on library shelves may have some good tips for you on how to publicize your books. Join us for a discussion of current practices in the public library and some insights on what drives popularity. In the last few years, we have seen big changes in publishing, bookstores, and libraries. We will talk about publishing house mergers, changing reading habits, and of course, TikTok and Colleen Hoover. ![]() Jennifer Alexander is a Collection Development Specialist for St. Louis County Library.
