NextReads newsletters are made available for editing three weeks prior to distribution to subscribers. Please note that the Hardcover Fiction and Nonfiction New York Times Bestseller newsletters and the LibraryReads newsletter will not be available
for editing prior to distribution to subscribers.
See the 2024 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 make sure that they're as fresh and useful as possible. We're simplifying our lists and annotations, and giving our newsletter layout a quick makeover.
Four newsletters have retired
After careful consideration, we've decided to streamline our lists. We have retired four of our newsletters: 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 are retiring. Default pages will automatically update.
Easy-to-replicate annotations are hereBased 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.
