Submit your book →Why submit
Reach the librarians looking for you.
More than 63 million Americans are family caregivers — and the libraries that serve them are actively looking for books like yours. This database was built specifically to surface caregiving books that might not appear in traditional library catalogs, including self-published titles.
Get discovered
Librarians will search the database by caregiving type, format, and location to find books for their collections.
Connect locally
Libraries use location data to find authors in their area for readings, panels, and community events.
Support caregivers
Your book reaches family caregivers, healthcare professionals, and organizations through a trusted library network.
The database
A living resource for libraries, organizations, and families.
Once submitted, your book will be housed in a searchable database made accessible to library professionals, caregiver-serving organizations, and family caregivers seeking resources. The database will be introduced at ALA's Annual Conference in June 2026 and maintained as an ongoing community resource.
Who this is for
Any author with a caregiving story to share.
Self-published authors
This database was built with you in mind. Traditional library catalogs often miss self-published titles — this one won't.
Traditionally published authors
Expand your reach to library professionals who are actively building caregiving collections and programming.
