OverDrive just announced their partnership with the American Library Association (ALA) to host the Libraries Transform Book Pick for all U.S. public libraries. This program is designed to connect readers across the country with their local libraries — and provide a great book for a digital book club!
So, what does that mean for WPLC? The title, After the Flood, by Kassandra Montag, will be available at no cost with simultaneous use to all WPLC patrons during the book club, October 7-21.
Voting is now open for November’s Big Library Read and you and your patrons are invited to help OverDrive select the next title to be read worldwide. This time around the focus is on Juvenile/Young Adult titles. Voting ends September 11 so vote now!
The Big Library Read will be live November 4-18, 2019, and the winning title will be announced in October. Nore information and marketing materials will be shared at that time.
We are excited to share that in the coming weeks, the WPLC will be launching a statewide mailing list for all public libraries, much like the previous wispublib list.
You can look for the list to be available in early- to mid-September.
More information will be coming soon but let us know at wplc-info@wils.org if you have any questions.
Thanks!
