Formerly Bestselling, Now Awaiting Your Request

I have been around books, either in the bookstore or the library, for years. And if there’s one thing I have learned, it is that today’s bestseller is tomorrow’s shelf sitter. At the library we buy the books you want to read. If everyone wants to be reading the same book (the very definition of a bestseller) then we buy extra copies of them. But what happens when the demand for titles goes down?

We send those extra copies to storage. So we still have multiple copies of former bestsellers waiting for those of you who didn’t get around to reading them when everyone else was reading them. Here are some names you might not have heard in a few years…but we still have many of their books. If you meant to read them but didn’t get around to it, request them now!

Non-Fiction: Og Mandino, Thomas Moore, Barbara De Angelis, M Scott Peck, John Gray, Richard Bach, James Redfield, and Stephen Hawking.

If fiction is more your taste: Robert James Waller, Dan Brown, William Peter Blatty, Erica Jong, and Joseph Heller.
