For Beebe Library’s subscribers to “NextReads,” the email newsletter subscription service that provides reading suggestions for adults and children, there is bad news and good news.

The bad news is that Beebe Library’s subscription to NextReads will end as of August 30, 2008. However, the good news is – if you wish to continue to receive newsletters from NextReads, you can easily subscribe to the NOBLE (North of Boston Library Exchange) version of NextReads starting September 2, 2008.

What is the difference? NOBLE is now paying for a subscription that will allow anyone in NOBLE to receive the newsletter with NOBLE’s information instead of Wakefield’s Beebe Library’s information. The titles recommended in the newsletters will be linked to the NOBLE catalog—where you will see all the holdings—including Beebe Library’s items.

There is no automatic subscription—if you wish to continue receiving any of the newsletters, you must subscribe to NOBLE’s version. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and hope that you have enjoyed this newsletter service and will continue to subscribe through NOBLE. You can subscribe to the NOBLE version via Beebe Library’s website starting September 2, 2008.

NextReads is an email newsletter subscription service that provides reading suggestions for adults and children in more than 20 reading interest categories on a monthly or bimonthly basis. The fiction and nonfiction newsletters combine new releases, read-alikes, and thematically grouped books.
