Our reference staff received a cool e-mail this week regarding one of our free databases: NextReads. "Hey you guys!! I just got my first e-mail from your new program that gives suggestions for checking out specific categories of titles. It is wonderful! Gives just enough information about the title and a short enough reading list to easily make selections." We're always glad to receive e-mails from patrons who like what we do. And we're pretty pleased with NextReads ourselves.
So what is NextReads?
• NextReads is an eimail newsletter subscription service that provides reading suggestions for all ages in more than 20 reading interest categories.
• Since you are able to sign up for whatever newsletters they want, you will receive reading suggestions tied directly to your interests.
• Title selections are made by professional librarians using the same sources
libraries use for collection development.
• Each book in every newsletter is accompanied by a brief, original annotation
packed with Readers’ Advisory content and handcrafted by professional
librarians.
• Each entry has a link to Missoula Public Library's catalog. You can simply click on the
link, search our catalog, and place holds on titles you are interested in.
• The newsletters are sent out on a regularly scheduled basis so you'll always have new reading suggestions!
Please check out NextReads on www.MissoulaPublicLibrary.org. We think you'll be glad you did.
