So many books, so little time.  For all those busy people, the Batesville Memorial Public Library has a free service: eleven OnLine Book Clubs that deliver books electronically.  Each day, Monday through Friday, the library emails subscribers a portion of a book that takes about five minutes to read.  They're able to read two or three chapters from a book during the week.  If they like a book, readers can check it out of the library.  Each week the library features new books.
    Our free Business Book Club delivers the latest ideas in marketing, management, customer service, and ecommerce.  Start every day with new ideas that you can put to work in your job and your business.  Just five minutes a day and you're in touch.
