Hopefully someday such bias will be long over with and forgotten, or at least more of a rarity. Meanwhile, I again state my gratefulness toward those institutions that practice a positive and balanced policy, gladly give respect and opportunity, and deeply appreciate indie authors' work! Happy Sunday to you and yours ☺ You are very welcome, Lenore, and thank you. Hopefully someday such bias will be long over with and forgotten, or at least more of a rarity.

Thanks for your insightful comments, Laura. They will keep the rest of us on our toes in regard to policy. Thanks again.

I think it is because the smaller ones have less bureaucracy and are usually staffed by real book lovers. Thank you Laura and Best Wishes to you!

With regard to children of all ages, imagine how they feel when they hear, “No, we (a public library) do not carry that title.” Again, kudos to the public libraries that do not have such a policy and the staff that welcome indie authors with a sincere smile, a win-win for everyone!
