Library seeks submissions for Indie Lethbridge collection

This January will see the 2018 launch of a new collection to the Lethbridge Public Library, the Indie Lethbridge Collection. This collection is designed to expose library users to works created here in southern Alberta, and will be composed of small press and independently published works by local authors.

In order to make this project a success, the Lethbridge Public Library is currently seeking submissions of adult titles to be included in this exciting new collection. If you are interested in having your work showcased in this collection pilot, please contact our collection development committee at indie@lethlib.ca for a submission form or download a copy from www.lethlib.ca.

To be included in the 2018 collection, submissions must meet the following guidelines: physical format only (no ebooks); published within the past two years; intended for an adult audience; must be created by authors from the Chinook Arch service area, and/or relevant to Lethbridge and area; and a copy of the book must be donated to the library if selected to be included in the collection.

If you would like your work to be considered for the Indie Lethbridge 2018 collection, email the submission form to indie@lethlib.ca; or mail the form to Indie Lethbridge 2018, Lethbridge Public Library, 810 5th Ave. S., Lethbridge AB, T1J 4C4; or drop the form off at the Information Services Desk at the Main Branch of the Lethbridge Public Library, Attention: Indie Lethbridge 2018.
