North Adams Public Library launches eZine

A couple of months ago the North Adams Public Library began sending out a monthly electronic newsletter, Library411. We find it a good communication vehicle, and subscriptions are gradually growing. However, we are novices at this and are eager for tips from more experienced ezine-ers. So far we're doing vanilla text, since not all our patrons have email accounts that accept html. I would love to find some kind of template so it could be a little more interesting visually -- any suggestions? TIA for any suggestions you can offer. [Please post your suggestions in the "Comments" Area under this posting.]

We just sent out or latest edition. The next one probably will be distributed toward the end of November. Anyone wishing to subscribe to our monthly (or more frequent) ezine may send an email message to: Library411-subscribe@naplibrary.com

We tried a two library blogs: One for our P.E.A.R.L.s and one general one. Neither took off, so now we're trying this.
