I'm first in line at the library as soon as they get this one in stock: Little Stitches by Aneela Hoey. (It was published in August, and now it's October...what gives? Did the librarians sneak all the copies home first?) There's something about fall that makes me eager to get out my stash of embroidery floss (which I've been hoarding since the 70's). You can see more of Aneela's work on her blog -- inspiring!
If I were working at the library and this came out of processing, I wouldn't be able to get my hot little hands on it soon enough! ;)
I work in collection development in a library, and we get a lot of title requests. Are you able to request certain books? Your library probably has a budget for things like this, and patron-driven acquisition is becoming a big trend, especially in public libraries. Talk to a reference librarian--sometimes hearing about a book from a patron really sticks when it's time to start purchasing!
