Q. How can a local self-published author have a book signing event at NHCPL?

We can accommodate only a few of the many author program requests we receive because of scheduling constraints.  

To be considered, you can donate a copy of your book to the library.  We will catalog it and place it on our “Donated by Local Authors” shelf at the Main Library for the public to enjoy, after the Public Services Librarian reviews it for programming purposes. If you are interested in pursuing this possibility, please send a copy of your book to:

• Dorothy Hodder
