You’re receiving this newsletter because you gave us your email address when you registered for a library card or because you have previously subscribed. For many of you, this is the first email newsletter you’ve received from the library. We hope you enjoy getting biweekly updates from us about our events, collections, and other current happenings. We want to be sure you are aware of all the services and resources available at your public library. If you’d rather not receive these emails, you can unsubscribe right away and you’ll never get another one—though you’ll continue to receive email notices about your library card account. And we will NEVER sell or otherwise distribute your email address.
