Email Marketing Services
by G Nartker 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

Hello Library Community - Our small rural library is currently considering an email marketing service and I wondered if some of you would share your sources / stories. We have investigated both MailChimp and Constant Contact and are leaning toward MailChimp because it is free and easy to use. Our new website will be designed in WordPress and it looks as though MailChimp can be integrated easily in to this software. Any advice / conversation concerning this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Gail Nartker, Director Sandusky District Library http://sandusky.lib.mi.us

Trees: the Yearbook of Agriculture, 1949
by T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

Would any library be interested in a used (library withdrawn) copy of Trees: The Yearbook of Agriculture, 1949 by the United States Department of Agriculture? This is a worn copy; it was well used through the mid-eighties, but no longer meets the needs of our local patrons. Since it appears to be an historic book, just wondered if someone needs a copy before we relegate it to our sale shelf. Regards, Jessica T.A. Cutler Memorial Library 312 Michigan Ave. Saint Louis, Michigan 48880 (989) 681-5141
