Read Books In Your Email

We're constantly trying to find ways to grab your attention and make you feel that the Moultrie-Colquitt County Library is the best thing that's ever come into your life.
That said...let me tell you about a new service we will be providing: a newsletter that will tell you about new books each month, a wide variety of books, with sample chapters, where you can meet the authors, and discuss books. All you have to do is take a five-minute reading break every day.
You can visit our library website's home page to join the online book club. Look for the "Book News" icon to sign up and receive a copy each month in your email. Can't be any simpler than that, huh? Remember now, we're just getting it started and have some designing to finish.
We'll have new nonfiction and fiction, best selling fiction and nonfiction, mystery, Christian fiction, and children's picture books. And we have the option of adding later audio books, business, sci-fi, horror, home and garden, large print titles, book club picks and more.
There's even a place where you'll be able to click on a letter of the alphabet to find your favorite author's website, or a new author you want to check out, or just browse the list of authors and see what you can find. I found some of my favorites: Alexander McCall Smith (with music, no less), James Patterson, T. C. Boyle, Alice Hoffman, and Joshilyn Jackson (a Georgia girl), just to mention a few.
And there will be books you can pull up from Award lists, such as PEN/Faulkner, Booker, Hugo, Christy, and Edgar Awards, as well as National Book Awards, and Pulitzer Awards.
We're excited here at the library about this new addition to our services. Check us out. We think you'll be excited, too.

I do like your new web site about the new books. I will look foreward to it in my inbox.
Thanks you, Ann
