<div dir="ltr"><div>I don't have a horse in this race... but in this day and age of constant electronic bombardment from all angles, I find myself greatly appreciating the tangible. Definitely pro- occasional library newsletter mailings! I have library cards with several different libraries and receive emailed newsletters like any other patron. I do skim the emailed newsletters specifically because I have a specific vested interest. But if any of the other countless "newsletter" type emails I receive from other organizations I've had business with are any indicator, it's very easy to simply see the subject line, know that it's nothing specifically actionable/important, and it goes straight into the trash completely unread...along with all of the other unwanted emails I'm constantly bombarded with. Anything that comes via USPS, however, always gets seen and at least skimmed over. Sometimes by more than just the addressee.</div><div><br></div><div>Chad<br></div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>______________________________<br><b>Chad Neeper</b><br><font size="1">Senior Systems Engineer</font><br><br><b>Level 9 Networks</b><br><font size="1">740-548-8070 (voice)<br>866-214-6607 (fax)</font><br><br><font size="1"><i>Full IT/Computer consulting services -- Specialized in public libraries</i></font><br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jun 29, 2022 at 1:52 PM Shawn D.

<p class="MsoNormal">Just curious, who in library land sends out a paper newsletter to their community, regardless of whether they have a library card, and how often you do so? Currently we are sending out our paper newsletter 3 times a year covering 4 months
of programs and events to around 20k worth of people and businesses. <u></u><u></u></p>
