Our public library system will send out notices of books ordered--if you list an author as your favorite, they will send you a notice and then you can reserve the book. I've been in the top 5 in the queue for most of my favorite authors' books and get to read them as soon as the library has it. I've had the Aloha Quilt on reserve for a couple of weeks already! Can't wait for it to get here! I love reading the Elm Creek Quilt books too!
