Newport Library - Book Express

[Admin]

Look like a good service to me and the first of it's kind in Wales.


Do you have internet access and don?t currently use your local library? Would you like free access to the largest number of published titles available in Newport?

Newport residents can now enjoy the new and free Book Express postal library service (http://www.opac.newport.gov.uk/opac/book_express1.htm), the first of its kind in Wales!
As a Book Express customer you may order online, receive and return your books by post (within a one month period) and reserve up to 50 items per year.

Got this email from book Express, they seem pretty keen to push the service. I intend to start using the service soon, I'll update this thread with my comments.

Dear Book Express Reader

The Book Express service is the first of its kind in Wales. We think it is a service that can offer a lot to people who love reading but find getting to the library difficult.

If you know of a family member or friend who loves reading and you would like to recommend the service to them, with their permission, reply to this email and send their email details to us. We will contact them and invite them to use the Book Express service so they can take advantage of the thousands of titles in stock in Newport Libraries.

If they sign up and request to borrow a book we will send them and you a free environmentally friendly shopping bag.


We look forward to hearing from you
Kind regards
The Book Express Team
