Are you interested in a different kind of newsletter?
We've been thinking about creating different newsletters -- perhaps focused on specific age groups (say one for adults, one for children, and one for teens), which would cover everything from new books, to programs, to services. Or maybe you'd rather have us add one newsletter devoted to new materials added to the collection. Let us know! |
