One of our authors’ books can now be borrowed from North Carolina public libraries

Brain Tangles, by Shirley Deane/Midyett

By Moristotle

One of our book authors has just had her book accepted by BiblioBoard for distribution through public libraries in the State of North Carolina, with possible distribution in a few weeks through public libraries in the rest of the United States (we will let you know).
    The author is Shirley Deane/Midyett, and her book of course is Brain Tangles: Unraveling the Mysteries of Communication and Human Behavior.
    As she says on the website of her publishing imprint,

Change Foundation’s mission is to help people reach the pot of gold at the end of their rainbow,
so Shirley is pleased that potential readers who may not be able to afford to buy a copy of her book now have the option (in North Carolina, at least) to borrow the electronic-book version of it from a public library. The link for accessing the book is http://library.biblioboard.com/content/3adad872-16af-4f32-852b-6afe563245cb.
    After you get there you will need to identify the library for which you have a library card and enter your library card number for verification. [As of August 10, participating NC libraries now list Brain Tangles.]


Feel free to share the link shown above with friends who are patrons of participating libraries to give them instant access. Do so on the web, in social media, in emails, in text messages, or in whatever way works best for you.

  1. I might also have mentioned that another author, Michael Hanson, has a few paperback copies of his “Tripping to Dickeyland” circulating in UNC-Chapel Hill libraries and in Alamance County Public Libraries. Michael also did a “Meet and Greet” session in the Mebane branch one Saturday afternoon last month.

  2. Way to go Michael and Shirley. Next time I'm at my local Library I'll ask if they offer e-books. I didn't think about it the last time I was there.

  3. Roger & Ed, you (and others of our book authors) also have the option of submitting the eBook version of any of your titles to Self-e, as I did for Shirley's book. (Self-e is the facility of The Library Journal that handles submissions, at https://self-e.libraryjournal.com/.) In fact, familiar as I am with the process, I could help you do it, in case you might be inclined to have your books borrowable from participating U.S. public libraries. Let me know.

  4. What great support you all are for us. We ALL need to be that for each other. Thank you so much. Ain't life and 'some' current technologies grand? Thank you, thank you, Morris, in particular, for all your loving help and expertise. You are a good person!
