The C. H. Booth Library now offers patrons free “Wowbrary” e-mail alerts that showcase the library’s newest items each week.

According to a release from the library, the alerts feature the latest bestsellers, movies, music CDs, audio books, children’s titles, cookbooks, mysteries, travel guides, health books, science fiction, and more purchased by the library.

“This is a great new way to enjoy and use your public library more,” said C. H. Booth Library Director Douglas Lord. “People are truly amazed when they see in one place just how many great new titles we purchase each week, which they can reserve and borrow at no cost. And we cover all age groups and many diverse interests.”

Lord noted that the Wowbrary alerts are extremely convenient and quickly show what is new and whether it is checked out or not, for all C. H. Booth Library branches, all from the convenience of one’s home, work, or school computer.

The alerts help those interested in just specific topics, as children’s librarian Alana Bennison pointed out.

“It only takes a mouse click to see the newest arrivals appropriate for your child or teen. There’s a separate section on parenting. Teachers can quickly spot new resources for their classes,” Bennison said.

Wowbrary alerts are free and do not require a library card. Go to wowbrary.org to sign up or learn more.
