This is the first issue of East Central Regional Library's new E-newsletter. Look for it each month to let you know what's going on at your library. In it we'll tell you about upcoming programs as well as services we provide or items you can check out. We won't spam you and we won't give our mailing list to anyone else. We will print a copy for anyone who doesn't receive E-mail.
E-Connect with us anytime
. . . on our website for more information. Check out the calendar of upcoming events in all branches at www.ecrlib.org.
. . . or on Facebook. You don't have to have a Facebook account to read the posts, but if you do, you can talk back to us or even "like" us (see below).
E-communicate with us via E-mail: ecregion@ecrlib.org. I'd love to hear what you'd like from your library.

If you live in the area, please stop in to say hello to Donna and introduce yourself.
