Several libraries have recently acquired a new book for their collections: Crossing Swords: Mary Baker Eddy vs. Victoria Claflin Woodhull and the Battle for the Soul of Marriage by Cindy Safronoff:
- Belmont Public Library, in Belmont, MA, along with the Minuteman Library Network, which serves 62 library locations including 7 colleges in the Metrowest region of Massachusetts.
- The Principia School and College, in Town and Country, MO, and Elsah, IL.
- The Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California, has also recently added Crossing Swords to its library catalog.
- The Indie Washington anthology in the Seattle Public Library online catalog (available as e-book).
Also coming soon to:
- The Mary Baker Eddy Library at the Christian Science center in Boston, MA.
- The Library of Congress in Washington, DC, for its catalog of 18 million items.
Special request to one and all:
Check to see if your library has Crossing Swords in its catalog and if not, please consider making a request to the library staff to acquire it for their collection. Library websites usually have a form for suggesting new books. Most typically, you need to have a library membership to make the request. The author can’t always do this, because acquisition requests made by the author of the book are not given the same priority as requests from others.
The more libraries that have the book, the more people will have free, convenient access.
