The "self publishers" sometimes drop off their books in liabraries and bookstores for free, just to get the circulation.

Please note that libraries are unable to accept every book donated. Even a "free" or donated book is not without cost to the library. The book must be processed and cataloged and this requires manhours and material. The most expensive part is often the physical space on the shelf.

In the case of a self-published book, it is often unlikely that it would be of use or of interest to enough library users to justify the monetary cost, manhour cost, and shelf space cost to accept the book for the library collection.
