Looking for new books? Try Dear Reader

Massillon Public Library offers this really cool feature on their website that I've been using for awhile and thought you might also like called "Dear Reader." Once you subscribe it will deliver an email with descriptions of new children's books in the library. Once a month, you'll get an email with a list of several good children's books to try, a picture of that book, and a little blurb describing the story. Then if it sounds good to you, there is a link right next to the picture that you can click to see if this book is available in our catalog. That makes it really easy to request that book and pick it up in our library the next time you stop in!

You can check this out by clicking here for all children's books (including chapter books, easy readers, etc.): http://www.massillonlibrary.org/node/472
or here for Picture books for chlildren: http://www.massillonlibrary.org/PictureBooks. From the library's home page, you can also click on the heading "Kid Stuff" and then select "Picture Books" or "Books for Kids" from the drop-down menu. Signing up is as easy as providing your email address!

If you like this feature, you can also subscribe to other categories too. The "Dear Reader" link off the home page allows you to choose book selections from best sellers, romance, mysteries, and many more categories. Try this link: http://www.massillonlibrary.org/booknews.
