Libraries hope to entice readers with e-mailed chapters

AccessNorthGa.com - Your Online Local Newspaper: "Patrons of the Dougherty County Library get an e-mail each day featuring one or more chapters from a selected book.
These 'five-minute reads' may persuade the readers to check the book out from the library or go to a bookstore and buy it. If nothing else, they can share their thoughts on the book with other readers on the library's Web site.
The library in this south Georgia town is one of thousands tapping into the Internet to serve not only its committed bookworms, but also those who just can't seem to find enough time to read. It recently joined 3,000 libraries around the country that offer online book clubs and send out book teasers via e-mail."
