21 ready-to-go newsletters each month, plus all the tools and resources to create email, RSS and online book content. Hundreds of libraries use BookNews to create newsletters, booklists, web pages, pathfinders, RSS feeds and online versions of their printed newsletters. (We used a BookNews pathfinder to create this website.)

Pre-made monthly email newsletters...
Every month we provide 21 newsletters, each with 4 featured books and 6 alternative selections, for a total of 10 books directly linked to your catalog. The pre-made newsletters are ready to go, but you can easily change the titles featured or add your own titles, reviews, events, and more. Patrons can view these newsletters on your website, printed, received through email, or RSS feeds.
