| On September 25th we proudly announced the addition of more than 17,000 Penguin eBooks to our catalog purchasable by U.S. libraries and colleges. This exciting supplement brought the works of blockbuster authors such as Stephen King, Nora Roberts, Tom Clancy, Ken Follett, Maeve Binchy and many more to OverDrive's collection of over one million digital titles.
With so many great titles to sort through, it can be difficult to discover and select the titles your readers want most. To help with your selections, we will be offering up some "Hidden Gem" collections over the next few weeks to help you take advantage of all that our newly-available Penguin catalog has to offer. To kick off our "Hidden Gem" collections, we have some recommendations for absolutely-must-have titles that your digital collection cannot be without:
John Green – The Fault in Our Stars
Jack Kerouac – On the Road
Michael Pollan – The Omnivore's Dilemma
Mario Puzo – The Godfather
Khaled Hosseini – The Kite Runner
Ayn Rand – Atlas Shrugged
John Steinbeck – The Grapes of Wrath, Cannery Row, and others
Jim Trelease – The Read-Aloud Handbook
Tracy Chevalier – Girl with a Pearl Earring
Kim Edwards – The Memory Keeper's Daughter
Sue Monk Kidd – The Secret Life of Bees
As a reminder, these Penguin titles are available to public and college libraries, including consortiums, on a one copy/one user lending model for a one-year period. For collection assistance, please contact OverDrive's Collection Development team at collectionteam@overdrive.com or your designated Collection Specialist.
