This
is our first newsletter, electronic, colorful, and a new way we can reach you,
our valued patrons and readers. Our goal is to give you a timely look at our collection
with a sampling of new books, DVD's, programming, and more.
Each topic
comes with a link to our website or to the library's catalog, Webster, where you
will get all the information you need. A very collaborative staff with a mission
to make this newsletter work for you has put issue one together and is grooming
the February issue right now.
If you have some thoughts on this e-publication,
please share them with us by e-mailing the webmaster@newcanaanlibrary.org.
The
natural collaboration that happens at the Library is at its best when it includes
a friendly staff and you.
