“The only thing that will redeem mankind is cooperation.” ~ Bertrand Russell 

It was a most enjoyable weekend at the Colorado Independent Publishers Association “College.”  There is so much information to share with readers that it is difficult to know where to start! Independent publishers, stay tuned all week long to All Things Fulfilling, as we will be sharing some very hot news on the industry, services that are available to independent publishers and other items of interest! 

Breaking news first! The Colorado Independent Publishers Association has received a fulfilling sign that “libraries are firm supporters of the independent publishers through the willingness to buy and promote their works” through a pilot program that has been put into place with libraries in two counties in the State of Colorado.  The program will allow library patrons to purchase e-book titles from its catalogs. 

This news is significant because on March 7^th some of the traditional publishing houses have changed their e-book licensure policies to allow only 26 checkouts.  New e-book licensing fees must be paid, again, to allow for more than 26 e-book checkouts. To read the full article in the American Library Magazine, about this groundbreaking arrangement between the Colorado Independent Publishers Association and libraries in two Colorado counties, please visit http://bit.ly/eKsSLp. 

Is the collaboration and cooperation between the libraries and an independent publishing trade association www.cipabooks.com an indicator that libraries everywhere anticipate that independent publishing is the wave of the future?
