Librarians: A Note on Sheldon Books

Saturday, January 19, 2008 - 09:34 AM

I love the idea of Sheldon books in libraries. As a kid, cartoon books were a huge part of my learning-to-read process. So paying it forward to the next generation with my own cartoons is an idea that appeals to me.

A lot of librarians have written me to say that they'd love to carry "Sheldon" books in their branch, but that their district's purchasing rules only allow for book buys through approved distributors like Baker & Taylor, etc. So I've decided to put all four books into major distribution channels for just those situations. (It should take me a month or so to finish the paperwork — I'll give you the heads up when they're available.)

In a similar vein, I got this note from librarian and Sheldonista Melanie at the Indian Valley Public Library:

"I saw your comment today about getting the Sheldon books into libraries. I purchase comics for our library and bought all of your books. Let me tell you, they’ve been really popular! They haven’t been in since we put the books on the shelves."

THAT'S the kind of note that makes a cartoonist smile! Thanks, Melanie!
