Hey aces, ace-spectrum people, and allies, I have thought of a potential way to further our eeeeeevil asexual agenda!

Next month, the first book about the asexual identity comes out in US markets (I don’t know about international ones). Some parts of the description are giving me pause, but it is by a researcher who has done some thoughtful studies of asexuality, so I hope it will be good. If it is, we should get it disseminated!

Here’s how: most library systems have a way to suggest purchases. Here are examples from Washington University in St. Louis, Berkeley, and the Boston Public Library. Libraries can’t purchase everything that is suggested to them, but encouraging libraries to add this to their collection will help spread fairly accurate knowledge about asexuality to the general public, and especially to those who may be asexual but are looking for the right word. So, if you feel this is a good book for your local public or academic library to have, you can suggest that they purchase it! (However, please don’t submit requests to random libraries that you don’t use or where you don’t live.)
