Dear Friends - Here is an announcement for a new library public service site
that may be of interest to you and your library users. It looks quite
promising - and encouraging as a tool to get more people into libraries.

Dear Friend!
If you'd like to be among the first to learn about the newest books, DVDs,
and CDs acquired by your public library, you should consider signing up for
Wowbrary. It's free and very cool!
Wowbrary is a brand-new public service that sends you a weekly email
showcasing** your local library's most recent acquisitions. All titles are
neatly categorized to save you time, with descriptions, reviews, and a
click-through to the library for reservation.
Wowbrary is now available to over 30 million people in many major U.S.
cities, and it's growing. See here what Wowbrary looks like for the Los
Angeles Public Library – just one of the many libraries included in this new
service: http://www.wowbrary.org/nu.aspx?p=6
It is easy to check out if your library is covered by Wowbrary. Simply enter
your ZIP code at www.wowbrary.org, where you can also sign up. The sooner
you sign up, the more likely your library will be included, if it is not
already, because that's how Wowbrary determines which libraries to support
next.
Please let your friends and family know too by forwarding this email to
them. By encouraging others to sign up for Wowbrary and use their library
more, you not only help them find great books, movies, and music but also
strengthen public support for libraries.
Thanks!
Torben
