Books, Movies and More – Back Issues Index
Custom Newsletters – Back Issue Index
Some of the new newsletters available in our Books, Movies & More service — the ones with the more generic names like Science Fiction and Fantasy, Mystery and Thriller, Business, Past and Present, Lifestyles, etc. — come pre-packaged for you every month, with no personalized commentary.
However, a number of our newsletters are what we call Custom Newsletters, and are crafted for you, with color commentary and personal observations from many of the staff members of the Lincoln City Libraries.
Below, you will find an index to the current and back issues of many of these Custom Newsletters. We encourage you to check out the previous issues on this page, and then sign up to receive via e-mail new editions of these newsletters as soon as they’re released!
