Some of you may recall my reaction when it was first suggested that James Bennett needed a blog! Nine months ago we set up The Bennett Blog and in my first post I asked:

What message do we want to send?
Will anyone read it?
Is it an appropriate forum to engage our customers?
What about our suppliers - is this something that publishers will embrace?

Well thanks to analytics we know The Bennett Blog had over 14,000 views in that time!  Many of our customers and suppliers were interested in what we had to say.  We shared information about new partnerships, special industry projects, and a book review or two.  But we say farewell now to the Blogger site and move The Bennett Blog here with our other communications.  A new phase, and one that is much more streamlined.

We hope you enjoy using the new website.  We're pleased to launch it.  Some great features with direct links to JBO for ordering ease and better downloads for order forms.  Plus, I think you'll agree, it looks better and is much easier to navigate.  As always, we welcome your feedback.  You can provide it here or feel free to comment below.

Our marketing staff will keep you posted with new products and services, digital resources, and special promotions for our customers so please bookmark these pages and come back and visit us regularly.

And of course, make sure you sign up for our e-newsletters as well.  It's one of the best ways to find out about new offers and benefits to your library patrons.

Thank you for your interest in our business and we look forward to serving your library now and into the future.
