Exciting New Email Service Brings The Library To You

December 3, 2007 Memorial Library of Nazareth & Vicinity Nazareth Pa announces the email newsletter service called NextReads. No Library card is necessary- just an email address-for library Web site visitors and patrons to subscribe to any of the 22 different newsletters, all of which provide great reading suggestions. Fiction and nonfiction newsletter topics include Biography and Memoir, Fantasy, Mystery, Nature and Science and Audiobooks, as well as two children’s newsletters and one for young adults. Newsletters are sent on a monthly or every-other-month basis, and include up to 12 book recommendations each. Subscribers can link directly to the library catalog from books of interest on the newsletters and place a hold or request a title immediately. Even those library patrons without email addresses can take advantage of the newsletters by viewing them online, either at the library or from any Internet point.

Library Director, Lynn Snodgrass-Pilla, says “We see the introduction of the NextReads service as being an important part of our outreach to the community. The library will be able to better serve its many library patrons who are less able to visit our facility in person to browse the shelves and book displays to find something new to read. NextReads will be another opportunity to bring the library to our patrons – at work, at school, at home or on the road.” The library’s website found at www.nazarethlibrary.org is considered a “virtual” branch, open 24 hours a day, available 365 days a year.
