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!
The selected ebook, along with a promotional spotlight at the top of Wisconsin's Digital Library, will be available with unlimited access from Oct. 7 – 21.
The ALA Libraries Transform Book Pick selection is After the Flood by Kassandra Montag
"A compulsively readable novel of dark despair and soaring hope, After the Flood is a magnificent, action-packed, and sometimes frightening odyssey laced with wonder — an affecting and wholly original saga both redemptive and astonishing."
To get your readers excited about the Libraries Transform Book Pick, ALA has put together a collection of marketing materials to help get the word out at your library. You and your patrons can also share your thoughts on social media by using #LTBookPick.
