Your Nextlibrary website and options can be seamlessly integrated into your existing website. All messages posted into the forum will immediately generate an email to the library. Thus it is unnecessary to constantly monitor the forum page for new messages. Questions received on the forum allow the librarian time to research the answers without having someone waiting on the telephone, or having to call back later. Questions and comments for the library may be posted at any time, even outside of library hours.
Regular participants develop a sense of community around the library.
People may wish to share information about historic photos, recommended reading lists, reference queries, and suggestions about library policy. A stale, static website that remains unchanged for days, weeks and months becomes boring and people will not return. A lively discussion forum will help to keep people coming back to your website. Unlike many discussion forums, Nextlibrary does not insert advertising. Nextlibrary monitors all forum activity.
