To create email templates, first decide if you want to create one that applies to all programs in your system or just to one specific program. Chose the appropriate menu.
Begin by choosing a name for the template.

Dear ^LIBRARY CONTACT^,

would appear like this in the email that goes out to patrons:
Dear John Smith,
Smithville Public Library is pleased to announce that you've won a price for your participation in Summer Kind of Fun.
