Betsy Bird, the amazing librarian, podcast host, and author, joins us to pull the curtain back on the mysterious machinations that power libraries. We discuss the many ways libraries discover new titles, acquire books, and work with indie authors.

In this episode, Betsy mentions indie publisher Path Press, Indie Author Day, and Biblioboard. We also talk about Library Journal’s daily newsletter BookPulse (that we accidentally misidentify as Book Life).
