Hello everyone,

 

Richland Community Library is considering renewing our annual BookPage subscription (50 copies/month), and we wanted to reach out to see if any rural libraries AND RIDES participants might be interested in sharing the cost.

 

In the past, we’ve noticed that we end up with 10–20 unused issues each month. Rather than letting them go to waste, we thought this could be a great opportunity for smaller libraries to receive BookPage copies at a reduced cost while helping us make the most of the subscription.

 

Details:

 

·        Annual subscription cost: $420 for 50 monthly copies

·        RCL is happy to cover the upfront cost

·        Participating library can reimburse us for their portion by check

·        We can easily send your monthly copies through RIDES

 

·        If we have two other interested libraries, we could opt for the 100 copies/year subscription for $756 and split the cost three ways. This would provide even more copies for each library at an even lower per-copy cost.

 

If your library would like to split the subscription—or if you have any questions—please feel free to reach out. We’d love to partner with you!

 

Warmly,

Anne Richards
