So the good news is that 168 libraries have stocked She’s Such A Geek. That totally rules, because it means a lot of people who couldn’t otherwise have read the book will have access to it. And each of those copies will go a long way. (By contrast, only 78 libraries have my first novel. Sob.)
But, and I know this is a tad geeky of me, some of those libraries are stocking the book under the wrong Dewey Decimal number.
For example, the Newton, MA public library has it under 508.2, which is the classification for “Seasons.” What does our book have to do with seasons, other than featuring the wisdom of seasoned techies and nerds? The Millbrae, CA public library has it under just plain 508, which is “natural history.” Slightly better, but still odd.
But hurray for the Mechanics Institute Library here in San Francisco, which has the good sense to list the book under 509.2, which is the Dewey Decimal code for “scientists.” A perfectly sensible classification, if you ask me.
