| Genre Chicks: Sharon Shinn |

How do you cover romance, science fiction, inspirational fiction and fantasy in one interview? The answer is easy—interview Sharon Shinn, creator of the Samaria Series. Read the interview by Ingram Genre Chick Alethea Kontis. In case you’re curious, the author does wax lyrical about libraries: “For me, libraries have always been the secular versions of cathedrals. In them I have always found sanctuary—serenity and solitude—and answers to all kinds of questions. I cannot imagine that I would be the person I am today if I hadn’t had access to libraries all my life, and read every minute that I could.”

| Dear Libby |

In each issue, an Ingram expert dons the mask of the Super Librarian (yes, we introduced Libby several years ago) to answer a question from a librarian. Do you have a question you would like to pose? Just send it to dearlibby@ingrambook.com.
Dear Libby,
I know that DVD is the way of the present and the future, but many of my patrons still prefer VHS. Yet, it’s getting harder and harder to find VHS materials for them. Yes, many are older and either don’t have the DVD players or just simply find the VHS format easier to handle. What do you suggest?
—Vexed about Video
Dear Vexed,
Great news! Ingram will continue to provide VHS as long as the studios are producing them. And I totally understand: My super-grandmother has yet to unpack her DVD player we bought her two years ago!
Happy viewing,
