Debbie Ohi offers some advice on how to support an author or illustrators new book (especially if you can't afford to buy it.)

Debbie offers a dozen suggestions in this blog post, Want to support an author's or illustrator's new book but can't afford to buy it? Here's what you can do., ranging from Read the book, and Read it where people can see you enjoying it, to Reserving it at the library, Reviewing it, and Talking about the book (both in person and online.)

And then there are a number of additional great suggestions from the comments, including asking your local or school librarian to help (they can put the book on display) and showing up at the author/illustrator's events!

All in all, great advice to heed and pass on...

Thanks, Debbie!
