I’m a library Coordinator for elementary, I read children books and YA. As professions in books I well have to say I glad you brought this topic because we are usually overlooked when it comes to getting ARCs when it would help us on when ordering for the library and when are co-workers come together to disgust what’s good out there for us to get. I’m glad I was able to go to this year ALA where I was able to get some ARCs and I have friend that share them with me.

Thank you so much for addressing this! I do get uncorrected proofs occasionally from my local indie bookstore, but have been thinking about starting to request them for my book review blog. I just wish that ARCs were finished products, so then I could circulate them in my library's collection (I have a minuscule budget).
