Finding Your Favorite Author or Topic at the Library
Never miss your favorite author’s new book again! Did you know you can get an email alert when they have just published a book? Or maybe you want to be notified when the newest book on your favorite topic comes in – say crafts, cookbooks, or American History. With an email address you can receive these timely notifications. The new catalog calls these alerts “Saved Searches.” Our MRRL staff is happy to set this up for you. Just ask for help at the Information Desk or call us and ask for the Information Desk.
