The American Library Association and OverDrive have joined forces on a new nationwide book club - the Libraries Transform Book Pick! This project will run October 7 – 21 and is designed to connect readers through the public library. Similar to OverDrive’s Big Library Read program, this digital book club will give library patrons an opportunity to read the same ebook as other readers across the country - without wait lists or holds!

SELF-e Select is now Indie Author Project (IAP) Select! The collections will include not just the Fiction and YA selections from Library Journal (which will continue as normal), but also curated eBooks from other partners such as Publishers Weekly, Black Caucus of the ALA, and regional library editorial boards around North America working within the IAP Contest network.
Promotional materials are being created and updated to reflect this change.

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.
