Automatically Yours
The Newton Public Library is introducing a new service called "Automatically Yours" which is an automatic reserve program for bestselling Adult Fiction Authors. The goal of Automatically Yours is to place popular titles in patron's hands in a timely fashion, shortening wait time on hold lists, and saving patron time by eliminating the need to place your holds each time a bestseller is released. More information, a list of authors and enrollment forms can be found on our website at www.newton.lib.ia.us under the Services tab or by calling Sarrah Knight at 641-792-4108.
Digital Downloads
Your library card grants you five free downloadable songs a week from www.freegalmusic.com and three books/audiobooks at a time from our eLibrary and Overdrive. Songs never have to be returned and our eBooks leave your device on the due date, meaning no fines. Visit our website at www.newton.lib.ia.us for more information or stop by the Information Desk. Happy downloading.

Donations Needed
Adult Coloring was an astounding success. However, we are in need of colored pencils and are seeking donations. If you have colored pencils at home that you are no longer needing or would like to donate new, please drop off to Nicole Lindstrom at the library. Thank you.
