The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library (OH) integrated BookLetters into their Main Library Blog and their Teen Services Blog. From their Main Blog they link visitors to Staff Picks and New DVDs. The Fiction Bestsellers and Teen Scene widgets they planted add visual appeal and keep their patrons coming back to see what is new.
