Readers' Advisory: Book Suggestions via Email, RSS Feeds

Are you the kind of person who enters a bookstore and searches the "Staff Suggestions" shelf? Do you ask those working in libraries for reading ideas? Do you subscribe to mybooklist.com or librarything.com so that you can read others' reviews of books?

If so, you will love our Staff Reads newsletter. This newsletter will give you a bimonthly update about what books Library staff are reading. It will link you to the item in our catalog so you can see if it is available or place it on hold if it is not.

You can have Staff Reads sent to your email, or you can subscribe to it with your favorite RSS reader.

Go to the Library's website at www.libcoop.net/troy.

Click on the Books for You link in the left side frame. This will direct you to the Book Lists for All Readers page. Check to the left of Staff Reads or any of the other 13 newsletters we provide. When you're done, scroll to the bottom of the page and enter your email address. You'll receive regular updates from the Library.

To subscribe via RSS feed: Go to the Book Lists for All Readers page, click on Click Here for RSS Feeds, and subscribe to the newsletters in which you are interested.

Happy reading!
