FAQs
Do you sell audiobooks?
1
Yes, we do sell audiobooks through our Libro.fm affiliate shop!
What is Libro.fm?Libro.fm is an independent audiobook platform that lets you buy and listen to audiobooks while supporting your favorite local indie bookstores (like us!). When you shop through our Libro.fm link or app, a portion of each purchase comes back to support our store—helping us keep the doors open and continue championing great books and authors in our community.
It’s the audiobook equivalent of shopping indie: same great titles, same great listening experience, but with the added benefit of backing local bookstores instead of big corporations.

I am independent author, will you carry my book?
2
Congratulations on writing and publishing your book—what an incredible achievement!
As an independent bookstore, we’re genuinely thrilled to support indie authors through our consignment program. It enables us to carry and highlight a far wider selection of self-published and print-on-demand titles than traditional wholesale purchasing allows.
Please note: We are currently unable to accept international titles.
Given the high volume of submissions and our buyers’ demanding schedules stocking the full store, please allow 3–4 weeks for review of your submission.
We welcome review copies only when accompanied by a completed submission/information form (available below ). Any review copies dropped off or mailed without this form will be donated to benefit our community.
We kindly ask that you do NOT drop off books or other materials at the shop unless we have specifically requested them. Unrequested items will be donated or recycled.
Please refrain from phone calls regarding submissions—email communication is preferred.
We’re unable to provide assistance with book printing, publishing, or related services.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding. We look forward to reviewing your work!
Want us to host a book signing?
3
We’d love to host a book signing for you!
If your book is independently published (self-published or print-on-demand), you’ll need to bring your own copies to the event unless we’ve made other arrangements in advance.
All book signings are subject to the terms outlined in our standard commissions contract.
If you’re traditionally published, please let us know the publisher you’re working with so we can coordinate accordingly.
Bulk orders and Book Clubs
4
We offer discounts on bulk orders of 5+ books—but these must be placed directly through our store (not via our bookshop.org page). The standard discount is 10% off.
For larger orders, please reach out to us so we can discuss options and pricing.
Hosting a book club? We’re happy to offer special discounts to local book clubs, businesses, and nonprofits—just let us know the details!
We look forward to working with you.
We do not accept used books, DVDs, or collectibles. If you're looking to donate books, please contact the Tri-Lakes Humane Society by phone or message.
