Actually, the answer's the same either way - both of the latest series will make more sense if you've read the earlier books because characters cross-over and events are linked through the shared world each author's multiple series share - but I know that Juliet, in particular, has tried to write her various series (I believe it's 5 series now - or possibly only 4!) so that you can jump in later than at the beginning. If it helps, Juliet's books are coming out as ebooks from Wizard's Tower. Not sure of the prices because I've been buying the paperbacks from the outset, but it might be worth trying out the free sample from Amazon if you've got a Kindle/Kindle app.
Here's The Thief's Gamble (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Thiefs-Gamble-Tales-Einarinn-ebook/dp/B009PNTDB0/michelefry00) - her very first book.
(I'll understand if you choose not to buy them, since you work in a library!)
