How to access Morgana Bevan's books from local libraries
Where are Morgana Bevan's books available?
As ebooks, almost all of my books have been made available to:
- Overdrive (Libby)
- Borrowbox
- Hoopla
- Bibliotheca
- Baker & Taylor
- Odilo
- Palace Marketplace
- Gardners Library
As paperbacks, they are also available via Ingram and Gardners.
If you're a reader, don't worry if most of that doesn't make sense. Only Hoopla, Borrowbox and Libby are reader-facing platforms. Your library will have its preferred suppliers of books.
But I can't find X book in my library and we have Y platform.
There can be many reasons for this, most of them out of my control.
1) Your library hasn't purchased it
Just because your library uses Libby or Hoopla doesn't mean they own every book. Libraries choose which titles to add to their collections.
2) Platform processing delays
Some platforms (particularly Hoopla) can take months or even years to process new indie releases.
3) Different supplier
Your library might use a platform where my books aren't yet available.
4) The book is in Kindle Unlimited
As of September 1st, 2025, these titles are exclusive to Amazon's Kindle Unlimited and are NOT available through libraries:
True Platinum Series (In Kindle Unlimited):
- Chasing Alys
- Winning Nia
- Enticing Mel
- Defying Ella
- Braving Lily
- Daring Ceri
- Marrying Olivia
Available Wide (Including Libraries):
- Kings of Screen Series: Between Takes, Married Blind, Acting Counsel, Fashionably Fake, Lights Camera Baby
- All novellas including Rockstar Regret, Charming Daphne and Needing Emily
Why this matters: Amazon requires Kindle Unlimited books to be exclusive to their platform. This isn't my choice - it's Amazon's rule. If you want these titles available through libraries, contact Amazon customer service and ask them to remove the exclusivity requirement from Kindle Unlimited.
How do I request a book from my library?
Digital
This answer depends on your library and the platform they use for digital books.
Libby (Overdrive)
- Log in to your library’s Libby site. Use your library card number and pin.
- Search for the book by title.
- Add titles you can recommend.
- Hover over the cover, Recommend
- You can choose either to be notified or to be placed on hold & enter your email addy.
- Recommend this title.
Borrowbox
This may change depending on your library or county but my local library can't order from Borrowbox. It's all handled by the person in charge of libraries for the entire county. My library gave me her email address and then I was able to email her a list of titles and authors I wanted to see on Borrowbox.
Your system may allow your librarian to order the book. If your librarians are like mine were originally, they have no idea how to do it and that's okay. Ask them for the contact for the county and go from there.
Hoopla & Bibliotheca
I'm unsure what the behind-the-scenes requesting process for these platforms looks like. My local library doesn't use them. The best thing to do is talk to your librarian and ask if there's a method you should use going forward.
This answer is the same as the ones above. You guessed it, talk to your librarian. Or if you're not a talker, check their website for a request form, or find an email address and email them your requests.
Now, it won't be instant. It does take time to purchase or get a book in from another library in the county, state or country.
Yes, I said country. My local library have been known to loan books from other libraries within the UK for me. I've requested books and forgotten I did it until six months later the library calls me to say I have a book in. Then I log into my account, scratching my head trying to remember what book that was.
My library won't order books / doesn't have the budget / is too conservative to feed my smut habit / [insert reason here]?
Thankfully there are libraries that allow you to join when you don't live in their area. I'm in a position that allows me to have a library card for my local library that only has Borrowbox but also Cardiff Library that has Libby.
If you're American, I'm going to direct you to this handy blog post from Everyday Reading that lists all the options for Non-Resident Library cards.
Are you a librarian interested in my catalogue?
Hi! Welcome to my little corner of the romance world.
I'd love to chat about how we can work together (whether it be virtual library events, webinars for your patrons on how to publish, increased formats such as large print and hardbacks), so feel free to reach out to me: morgana (at) morganabevan.com.
I'm slowly putting together one sheets for each of my books. Here are the ones, I have so far:
Kings of Screen Series
True Platinum Series
