  1. Your Neighbor is a Writer: Curating a Local E-book Collection Kady Ferris, Electronic Content Librarian

  2. Poll: How are you offering local content? ● Physical books? ● E-books? ● Both? ● Neither? 2

  3. Katie Grindeland, author, The Gifts We Keep “Without this program through the Multnomah County Library my book would still be sitting at home in a binder somewhere. This program helps bridge the gap between enthusiastic writers and willing readers. The reception to my work has been extremely validating, and I'm exceptionally grateful for this opportunity. And now you can imagine a cartwheeling emoji or something equally culturally relevant.” 3

  26. Author Impact “When I tell someone I wrote a book, instead of just saying it hasn't been published and isn't available, I am able to say that it is available on the Multnomah County Library website as an e- book.” “Increased sales and readership. Reader Reviews increased. My audio books got attention as well.” “We write to be read. The Writers Project found us readers while we waited for Random House to call.” 26
