Book Newsletters - Online

Vermillion Public Library has an online service for readers which gives readers access to free electronic newsletters about a wide variety of books via the library system's Web site, http://vpl.sdln.net.

Readers can access the service via the BookNews link from the home page of http://vpl.sdln.net, and select the newsletters they wish to read. You can also sign up to receive newsletters directly to your email.

Readers can select electronic newsletters based on genres, including new fiction, new non-fiction, mystery, classics, business books, home and garden books, and science fiction books. The newsletters are also categorized by books that have received awards, such as the Pulitzer Prize for History and a newsletter about works for children that have received the Caldecott Medal for illustration. Other categories include age (such as books for children and teens), large-print books, audio books and other interests.

Vermillion Public Library updates most sections of this newsletter list each month with new books we will be receiving in the upcoming month. There are some sections that we do not specifically order for and so we may not have the suggested books from the newsletter in the library. However, books can always be requested, either for purchase of through inter-library loan.

The newsletters also include reviews, descriptions and author commentaries. Links within the newsletters take subscribers directly to the South Dakota Library Network catalog, so they can easily see if a title is available at their local library or anywhere in the library system.
