No holds. No waiting. Everyone can read it at the same time. It's a dream come true, isn't it?
Libraries Transform has partnered with OverDrive to create a new digital book club for all U.S. libraries that work with OverDrive. It's first #LTBookPick is Kassandra Montag's After the Flood.
The digital book club runs until October 21st. Readers can chime in on social media using the #LTBookPick hashtag. After October 21st, the e-book goes back to checking out one copy at a time.
Why are they doing this? The digital book club was formed in response to publishers making digital book buying even harder for libraries. With the #LTBookPick, library patrons have a fantastic book that is guaranteed to be available from October 7 through the 21st.
Don't know what to read next? Immerse yourself in After the Flood!
Love maps and data visualization? Check out this book. It is chock full of information learned from mapping trends in societies all over the globe. Which countries emit the most light? Where is the workload shared most equally in households? Which areas of the U.S. have the most airplanes flying overhead? This is a fun book that will make you smarter with each page you read. -Melody
