NextReads Newsletter Delivery Schedule
See the 2024-2025 NextReads Newsletter Calendar below for a full newsletter schedule, with dates of Advance List availability, draft availability, and publication. NextReads Newsletters will be automatically distributed to all subscribers (patrons and staff) according to the publication dates on this calendar.
2023 Changes
We continuously review our offerings to ensure that they're as fresh and useful as possible. We've simplified our lists and annotations and given our newsletter layout a quick makeover.
Audiobooks; Armchair Travel; Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise; and Home, Garden, and DIY.
NOTE: If your library uses a custom opt-in page, be sure to remove the lists that have retired. Default pages will automatically update.
Based on your feedback, annotations that are easy to replicate when you swap out books in newsletters are now if effect. You'll see a style that's short, sweet, and still features the context and appeal-rich descriptions you'll only find in NextReads.
