esrs Posted July 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Is it possible to donate a (new) book (that I have written) to the QM2 Library? My initial thought is that this can't be done, but thought I'd ask! 🙂 Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell Boy Posted July 16, 2022 #2 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Pre Covid I have donated two new books to the onboard Library , one on QM2 and another on the Q.Victoria, both were accepted , I shouldn't think you will have any problems.

esrs Posted July 16, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Thank you Bell Boy. While there is only the tiniest connection to Cunard (it is a biography and the subject did return from WWI on the Aquitania) I thought it might be a nice thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Or I could pick it up on the QM2 library… Edited July 16, 2022 by Tonopah Added stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My library purchased this book! I am first in line to read it. I should add that I put in the purchase request and now lots of people will have access to your book. Can you tell I’m excited?

Last few days if our NY-NY 23 nights onQM2, did donate the book but haven't yet seen it on the shelf, hoping it will be there tomorrow. Thanks again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballroom-cruisers Posted September 1, 2022 #10 Share Posted September 1, 2022 What a delightful thread. It is so nice to see a simple positive message end with a lovely outcome. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esrs Posted September 1, 2022 Author #11 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Home now and never did find the book on the shelf. However, if anyone reading this is the first to spot it in the QM2 library and posts a picture of it there, I'll happily send you your own copy. 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure how long it took for the library to process a book and put it on the shelf. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
