Troy Public Library’s
BookLetters
Program
Makes Finding Great Reads Easy
(TROY, MI) – Keeping track of new and featured
titles at the Troy Public Library is now easier than ever thanks to BookLetters online booklists.
BookLetters
allows Library patrons to access lists of books created by Troy Library staff
and include a wide range of subjects, genres, age levels and formats. Those who are familiar with sites like mybooklist.com or librarything.com will love what BookLetters has to offer.
Through
BookLetters, patrons can browse titles online, read
previews and reviews, and learn about authors. Once a book that sparks interest
is found, it can be placed on hold at the click of a button. Patrons will be
notified when the item is available for pick up.
BookLetters
offers
a variety of ways to subscribe to booklists. In addition to browsing the lists
on the Library’s Web site, a patron can subscribe by e-mail or RSS feed to
receive updates. Most lists are updated
monthly. The popular “Staff Reads” list, covering titles recommended by Troy
Library staff, is updated every other Wednesday.
There
is no need to create an account to use BookLetters.
Simply go to the Troy Public Library home page (http://www.libcoop.net/troy) and click on Find Books and Reviews in the lower right side of the page. This
will take users to the Library’s BookLetters page
where they can browse, subscribe, read reviews, place holds and more.
