LIBRARIAN BUSINESS TOOLS
We hope you’ll enjoy these tools written by Christian Authors Network members to support our retailer and librarian friends. It’s our goal to support those who share our books in ministry to your customers. If you think of a tool or article you’d like to see here, but it isn’t, let us know. We’ll do our very best to create it for you. Check out the retailer/librarian resources for activity sheets for children and articles for adults to print and give to your readers.
