Local Author Submission Guidelines

Local Author Submission Guidelines
The Toledo Lucas County Public Library is pleased to share the works of local authors with our community. We can accept one donated copy from authors with an active, current community connection.

Materials must follow our Collection Development Policy. The book will become part of our collection and subject to current collection policies and procedures. Acceptance of an author's work does not guarantee that we will buy additional copies, nor purchase them directly through the author.

The Library cannot accept submissions from persons or publishers outside Northwest Ohio, nor can it accept materials in digital formats.

Please submit one copy of the book and a printed copy of this form. Drop these off at your local branch or mail to:

Toledo-Lucas County Public Library
c/o Collection Development Coordinator
325 North Michigan Street
Toledo, OH 43604

The library will email the author as soon as we receive your book and explain the next steps. Please wait 8 business days after submission to be contacted via email.
