If you are looking for a way to develop a relationship with your patrons, and connect and communicate with your community, NextReads™ can help you by reminding them that their library is just around the corner. Combining the technology and marketing power of a customizable outbound electronic newsletter service with the expertise and knowledge of library professionals, NextReads delivers engaging lists of books and other resources to your patrons.

With over 20 topics and genres to choose from, your patrons will find a newsletter of interest to them. Lists are delivered directly to patrons via email on a monthly or bimonthly schedule, depending on the topic. No extra work is required of library staff, but newsletters can be edited or created as desired. The Web-based NextReads application runs on our servers, so no additional hardware or software is needed.

Just-released titles included in our newsletters act as an incentive to subscribe, since newsletter subscribers will be first in the hold queue. With read-alikes and themed selections, these lists will not only help to push today's bestsellers, they will draw attention to the quality mid-list titles that are sitting on your shelves.
