I love them all – and of course have a certain bit of bias about that book you managed to get into your library 😉 It is, after all, a necessary and informative one, everyone should read it!

Each of these suggestions can be done by anyone, and if everyone followed even just some of them, just imagine the impact it would have!

Thank you for blogging the change,

Why people still buy from pet stores, why people still purchase from backyard breeders. Something is missing.
What a wonderful idea, and so very simple! Leaving a dog trainers info in the form of a bookmark is a great idea!

Sometimes we’re too busy “thinking outside the box” that we forget there’s still a whole world living *inside* the box. We do have to remember to reach out to the people who aren’t subscribed to all the latest theory via all the fancy new tech.

If I’m not mistaken, libraries still offer educational opportunities through seminars and lectures. An enterprising individual might be able to persuade them into allowing such an event for humane education or similar topics….

So if your library was Shiva friendly you might spend more time there? 🙂

I’d be careful about trying the card idea in a bookstore. In the library, it would just be seen as a stray bookmark. But in a bookstore, it could get your favorite local trainer in trouble. We certainly don’t want that.

I can’t really take credit for the bookmark/business card idea. I find people leave all kinds of things in the books I take out and I’m always curious about these left behind markers. It certainly couldn’t hurt. 🙂

I love the library and spend time there every week. I don’t always read what I get out but I’m glad to have access to so much material.

I thought your book filled a gap in their collection. Many of their books are outdated and none of them have even a spec of humor. I hope it gets a lot of reads.

Of course, my husband told me you’d be mad at me for having the library buy it because I’ve just made it less likely for individual readers to buy. I personally, have never found libraries prevent me from buying what I like to have as reference or like to lend to others.

Dog Star Daily would be a great site to have available online at the library. Especially since it has great help to prevent dog bites. You could promote it as a public safety service as well as a great resource for improving the human/dog bond.

Great idea, Mel.

That’s great that your library is looking for materials. In response to Rumpy Dog’s comment, I think I’ll create a post we can all submit ideas to. That should give you plenty of suggestions to send to your library. 🙂

That is such a great suggestion. Rather than make my list, I’ll schedule a post in which I ask everyone to suggest their “this dog book has got to be available at your public library” list. 🙂

It would make a great permanent page for people to revisit for ideas later. Thanks, Rumpy!

Yay libraries! I wouldn’t know who Patricia McConnell, Suzanne Clothier, and Ian Dunbar were if not for the library. They are all people I discovered at the library, long before finding them online.
