YAY!
Book Alert is Back!
This popular service from my library system (King County) that notifies you about new additions to their collection has returned. I have no idea why it was discontinued but I'm glad it's back.
Here's how it works:
1) Indicate your reading preferences.
2) Twice a month I will receive an email with titles of new arrivals that match my preferences, including a link to place a hold.
Here are my preferences (out of 53 available):
Fiction:
1) Romance (of course)
2) Suspense & Thrillers (in case RS was not included above)
3) Historical (I like an occasional historical fiction)
Non-Fiction:
1) Handicrafts & Hobbies
2) Home & Garden
My library system is huge with 43 community libraries and it has been very well supported. All library bonds have always passed by the voters. I can get any new hardback, CD or audio book I want and the holds lists aren't too bad usually except for the BIG names (Nora, Howard, Brockmann). In the last 3 or 4 years they have significantly increased the amount of new paperback romances they purchase too. Looking forward to my first email. Aren't libraries great!

My library has a lot of good DVDs and CDs too. (But I'm Soooooo baddd at getting them or borrowed books back on time.)
I think I use my library for music more than I do for books. Hmmmmm.
I used to be very bad at returning books on time too. Until I signed up for email notification. So now they send me email 5 days before the book is due. I can either renew it online (if it's not on hold for someone else) or return it on my way to work.
