Warren County Library Introduces BookNews

Belvidere, NJ-- November 4, 2009--The Warren County Library System has introduced BookNews, a new online service for readers. This new reader's advisory service gives readers access to free electronic newsletters about a wide variety of books via the library system's web site, www.warrenlib.org,or delivered directly to their e-mail address.
Readers can access the service via the BookNews link from the library home page, and select the newsletters they wish to read. They can also elect to receive the monthly newsletters via e-mail on the 15th of each month.
Readers can select electronic newsletters based on genres, including new fiction, new non-fiction, mystery, classics, business books, home and garden books, and science fiction books. The newsletters are also categorized by books that have received awards, such as the Pulitzer Prize for History and a newsletter about works for children that have received the Caldecott Medal for illustration. Other categories include age (such as books for children and teens), large-print books, audio books and other interests.
The newsletters include reviews, descriptions and author commentaries. Links within the newsletters take subscribers directly to the Warren County Library System catalog, so they can easily see if a title is available at their local library or anywhere in the library system.
BookNews is just one feature of the system's web site, which features a number of other services. The site provides access to full-text articles in thousands of magazines and newspapers, selected Internet sites and databases for research, a calendar of library events, electronic books from NetLibrary and Listen NJ Overdrive, the "Q & A NJ" online reference service, and more.
