Newsletters

So the library where I work publishes 3 newsletters. In no particular order they are called Dots & Decibels, El Narrador, and PerKids. The NLS mandates that its network libraries publish a quarterly newsletter each year that will be sent out to library patrons as well as interested parties of the library. For years Dots & Decibels was the library's newsletter (weather they went out quarterly is another story). "Dots" refers to braille and "Decibels" to the talking books. I'm a fan of creative titles and so I approve. This newsletter still shares information about the library as well as areas of interest to our patrons (like the digital televison conversion or making U.S. currency accessible).

El Narrador is the newsletter for our Spanish speaking patrons. The name translates to The Narrator and I came up with it in response to the need to have the title of the newsletter be something that would relate to what we do here at the library. EN is published twice a year, trust me, this Spanish speaking Irish boy needs that much time.

The third is PerKids. This is the newsletter that is geared toward children and young adults. This newsletter contains lots of information about technology, books, games, library and community events, and updates about library services. PerKids is also published twice a year but every month an electronic version is sent out to patrons who have e-mail.

This is the way the library keeps our patrons up to date, I hope they enjoy them.
