We actively seek books that are written and/or published locally.  We are especially interested in those about Southern California.  As a public library we select books whose content is written for the general reader rather than for the specialist or practitioner.  The best way to bring your book to our attention is through reviews.  A positive review in one or more of the library review journals, such as Library Journal, School Library Journal, Kirkus, Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, or the LA Times Sunday book review.
