The Girl with the Red Balloon is this October’s OverDrive Big Library Read

This October, OverDrive's Big Library Read returns with The Girl with the Red Balloon by Katherine Locke. The book, which tells the story of sixteen-year-old Ellie Baum as she time travels to 1988 East Berlin, was selected through a poll taken by OverDrive readers. For two weeks from October 1 – 15, readers can borrow this Young Adult fantasy title without wait lists or holds.

Penguin Random House Lending Model Changes in OverDrive

OverDrive recently announced that ebook titles from Penguin Random House will move from a one copy/one user (OC/OU) model to a two-year metered access term model effective October 1st. We have been advocating for all publishers to move from the high priced OC/OU model to a metered access model for many years. Our experiences with other publishers utilizing metered access models either by the number of checkouts (such as Harper Collins) or by time (such as Simon & Schuster) have demonstrated that a metered access model is a much better value.
