I have been part of the "First Edition" (title of Blue Earth Community Library's newsletter) for 3 years. We are creating the 45th issue for December 2010. I list new titles with name of author. We have a feature article that tells about activities going on here. The ornament workshop is being planned now. We have news of the Cookbook Club, an spot for "Ask Dewey", and a Technology news spot called "Bytes". There can be lots more: Particularly the book reviews written by staff or patrons. But I am usually looking for ideas from other librarians online. I follow a few in Twitter, 23thingsonastick ning, www.librarything.com, and facebook.
The letter amounts to one page, double sided, which is available at the desk and on the library website www.becl.org. I enjoy doing it and hope that it encourages people to read more and become internet savvy. I would like to do an article on searching online. Compare google with bing and yahoo. I use google for so many things, I don't need anything else. But it is good to look at other search vehicles. There is usually something to learn, for instance, the vocabularly (which I can use). People don't realize how many words to use and how to choose words for a search.
